NAME
pppx —
PPP multiplexer device
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device pppx
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/pipex.h>
DESCRIPTION
The pppx driver works with the
npppd(8) daemon, allocating a network interface for each
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) session by request from the daemon. It also
works with pipex(4) to accelerate the performance of packet forwarding
and supports ioctls which are added by
pipex(4).
To use pppx from
npppd(8) the administrator needs to configure the interface
configuration in
npppd.conf(5). Also the administrator needs to enable
pipex(4) by setting net.pipex.enable to
‘1’ using
sysctl(8).
SEE ALSO
inet(4), inet6(4), pipex(4), hostname.if(5), npppd.conf(5), netstart(8), npppd(8), sysctl(8)
HISTORY
The pppx driver first appeared in
OpenBSD 5.3.
