Question about PPPD Sample

[Cudmore, Alan P. (GSFC-5820)]

I am trying to establish a PPP connection between a Sparc/LEON3 RTEMS board and an ARM Linux board. I found a memory alignment error for the Sparc in the PPPD GetMask function, and I can submit a patch for that.

After fixing the memory alignment problem, I am making more progress, but I have a fundamental question about the PPPD sample:
In the sample’s PPPD app, when the PPPD_IPUP_HOOK is called, the hook sends RTEMS_SIGNAL_10 to the PPPD task, and the task calls rtems_ppp_disconnect. The PPP_IPDOWN_HOOK sends a signal that results in the task calling rtems_ppp_connect.

Is the purpose of the PPPD sample to exercise the PPPD connect and disconnect code, and not to establish/maintain a connection? That is what I’m observing. It seems like as soon as the IP connection is up, the RTEMS side sends the disconnect request and they start all over again.

Thanks,
Alan
