34 .Nd Predictor-1 PPP compression (RFC 1978) netgraph node type
37 .In netgraph/ng_pred1.h
41 node type implements the Predictor-1 sub-protocols of the Compression Control
44 The node has two hooks,
49 Only one of them can be connected at the same time, specifying node's
51 Typically that hooks would be connected to the
53 node type hook of the same name.
55 This node type supports the following hooks:
57 .Bl -tag -compact -width decomp
63 Incoming frames are compressed and sent back out the same hook.
69 Incoming frames are decompressed and sent back out the same hook.
72 Only one hook can be connected at the same time,
73 specifying node's operation mode.
75 This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
77 .It Dv NGM_PRED1_CONFIG Pq Li config
78 This command resets and configures the node for a session
79 (i.e., for compression or decompression).
81 .Vt "struct ng_pred1_config"
83 .Bd -literal -offset 0n
84 struct ng_pred1_config {
85 u_char enable; /* node enabled */
90 field enables traffic flow through the node.
91 .It Dv NGM_PRED1_RESETREQ Pq Li resetreq
92 This message contains no arguments, and is bi-directional.
93 If an error is detected during decompression, this message is sent by the
94 node to the originator of the
96 message that initiated the session.
97 The receiver should respond by sending a PPP CCP Reset-Request to the peer.
99 This message may also be received by this node type when a CCP Reset-Request
100 or Reset-Ack is received by the local PPP entity.
101 The node will respond by flushing its compression state so the sides
103 .It Dv NGM_PRED1_GET_STATS Pq Li getstats
104 This control message obtains statistics for a given hook.
105 The statistics are returned in
106 .Vt "struct ng_pred1_stats" :
108 struct ng_pred1_stats {
109 uint64_t FramesPlain;
111 uint64_t FramesUncomp;
117 .It Dv NGM_PRED1_CLR_STATS Pq Li clrstats
118 This control message clears statistics for a given hook.
119 .It Dv NGM_PRED1_GETCLR_STATS Pq Li getclrstats
120 This control message obtains and clears statistics for a given hook.
123 This node shuts down upon receipt of a
125 control message, or when hook have been disconnected.

143 Due to nature of netgraph PPP implementation there are possible race conditions
144 between data packet and ResetAck CCP packet in case of packet loss. As result,
145 packet loss can produce bigger performance degradation than supposed by protocol.
