ppp —
Point-to-Point Protocol network interface
The ppp interface allows serial lines to be used as
network interfaces using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
A ppp interface can be created at runtime
using the ifconfig pppN
create command or by setting up a
hostname.if(5) configuration file
for netstart(8).
- ppp0: afX not supported
- The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an
unsuitable address family; the packet was dropped.
W. Simpson, The
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), RFC 1661,
July 1994.
The ppp device appeared in OpenBSD
1.2.
Currently, only the ip(4) protocol is supported
by this device. Note that the pppoe(4)
device does support ip6(4).
