Mpd 2.0b2 User Manual
February 11, 1999
This manual covers the use of mpd, a user mode
multi-link PPP daemon for FreeBSD. Mpd is highly configurable and
extendable. It supports netgraph, allowing it to run over
many combination of drivers and protocols including
asynchronous serial, synchronous serial, Frame Relay,
and others.
This manual documents mpd version 2.0b2; this
is a beta release.
This version uses the tunnel interface, requiring each
packet to be read out of the kernel and written back to
the tunnel device. A future version will eliminate this
restriction.
