Overview

Package pppoe is a library for PPP over Ethernet applications running on Linux systems.

PPPoE is specified by RFC2516, and is widely used in home broadband links when connecting the client's router into the Internet Service Provider network.

Currently package pppoe implements:

  • Connection and protocol support for the PPPoE Active Discovery protocol. This is a simple sequence of messages which is used to instantiate and tear down a PPPoE connection. Protocol support for both client and server applications is provided.

  • Integration with the Linux kernel's L2TP access concentrator subsystem used to control the switching of PPPoE session data packets into an L2TP session for transmission to the LNS. This is of use when building PPPoE servers.

Actual session data packets are managed using a PPP daemon and are outside the scope of package pppoe.

Usage 

# Note we're ignoring errors for brevity

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/katalix/go-l2tp/pppoe"
)

// Create a new PPPoE discovery connection on interface eth0
conn, _ := pppoe.NewDiscoveryConnection("eth0")

// Build a PADI packet to kick off the discovery process.
// Add two service name tags indicating the services we're interested in.
padi, _ := pppoe.NewPADI(conn.HWAddr(), "SuperBroadbandServiceName")
padi.AddServiceNameTag("MegaBroadbandServiceName")

// Encode the packet ready to send on the connection.
b, _ := padi.ToBytes()

// Send the packet.  Hopefully a server responds!
conn.Send(b)

// Receive any replies to our PADI packet.
rcv, _ := conn.Recv()

// Parse the received frames into PPPoE packets.
parsed, _ := pppoe.ParsePacketBuffer(rcv)
fmt.Printf("received: %v\n", parsed[0])

	PPPoECodePADT PPPoECode = 0xa7
)

PPPoE packet codes.

func (PPPoECode) String 

func (code PPPoECode) String() string

String provides a human-readable representation of PPPoECode.

type PPPoEConn 

type PPPoEConn struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

PPPoEConn represents a PPPoE discovery connection, allowing receipt and transmission of PPPoE discovery packets.

Because raw sockets are used for sending Ethernet frames, it is necessary to have root permissions to create PPPoEConn instances.

func NewDiscoveryConnection 

func NewDiscoveryConnection(ifname string) (conn *PPPoEConn, err error)

NewDiscoveryConnection creates a new PPPoE discovery connection on the specified network interface.

func (*PPPoEConn) Close 

func (c *PPPoEConn) Close() (err error)

Close closes the discovery connection, releasing allocated resources.

func (*PPPoEConn) HWAddr 

func (c *PPPoEConn) HWAddr() (addr [6]byte)

HWAddr returns the hardware address of the interface the discovery connection is using.

func (*PPPoEConn) Recv 

func (c *PPPoEConn) Recv(b []byte) (n int, err error)

Recv receives one or more frames over the discovery connection.

func (*PPPoEConn) Send 

func (c *PPPoEConn) Send(b []byte) (n int, err error)

Send sends a frame over the discovery connection.

type PPPoEPacket 

type PPPoEPacket struct {
	// SrcHWAddr is the Ethernet address of the sender of the packet.
	SrcHWAddr [6]byte
	// DstHWAddr is the Ethernet address of the receiver of the packet.
	DstHWAddr [6]byte
	// Code is the code per RFC2516 which identifes the packet.
	Code PPPoECode
	// SessionID is the allocated session ID, once it has been set.
	// Up until that point in the discovery sequence the ID is zero.
	SessionID PPPoESessionID
	// Tags is the data payload of the packet.
	Tags []*PPPoETag
}

PPPoEPacket represents a PPPoE discovery packet.

func NewPADI 

func NewPADI(sourceHWAddr [6]byte, serviceName string) (packet *PPPoEPacket, err error)

NewPADI returns a PADI packet with the RFC-mandated service name tag included.

PADI packets are used by the client to initiate the PPPoE discovery sequence.

Clients which wish to use any service available should pass an empty string.

PADI packets are sent to the Ethernet broadcast address, so only the source address must be specified.

func NewPADO 

func NewPADO(sourceHWAddr [6]byte, destHWAddr [6]byte, serviceName string, acName string) (packet *PPPoEPacket, err error)

NewPADO returns a PADO packet with the RFC-mandated service name and AC name tags included.

PADO packets are used by the server respond to a client's PADI.

func NewPADR 

func NewPADR(sourceHWAddr [6]byte, destHWAddr [6]byte, serviceName string) (packet *PPPoEPacket, err error)

NewPADR returns a PADR packet with the RFC-mandated service name tag included.

PADR packets are used by the client to request a specific service from a server, based on a server's PADO.

The service name tag should be derived from the PADO packet received from the server.

func NewPADS 

func NewPADS(sourceHWAddr [6]byte, destHWAddr [6]byte, serviceName string, sid PPPoESessionID) (packet *PPPoEPacket, err error)

NewPADS returns a PADS packet including an allocated session ID and the RFC-mandated service name tag.

PADS packets are used by the server to respond to a client's PADR. They represent the completion of the PPPoE discovery sequence, and may indicate either success or failure to establish the connection.

If the PADS packet indicates success, the session ID should be a non-zero value which is unique for the PPPoE peers.

If the PADS packet indicates failure, the session ID should be zero, and the packet should have the PPPoETagTypeServiceNameError tag appended.

func NewPADT 

func NewPADT(sourceHWAddr [6]byte, destHWAddr [6]byte, sid PPPoESessionID) (packet *PPPoEPacket, err error)

NewPADT returns a PADT packet for the specified session ID.

PADT packets are used by either client or server to terminate the PPPoE connection once established.

func (*PPPoEPacket) AddGenericErrorTag 

func (packet *PPPoEPacket) AddGenericErrorTag(reason string) (err error)

AddGenericErrorTag adds an generic error tag to the packet. The value may be an empty string, but should preferably be a human-readable string explaining the nature of the error.

func (*PPPoEPacket) AddHostUniqTag 

func (packet *PPPoEPacket) AddHostUniqTag(hostUniq []byte) (err error)

AddHostUniqTag adds a host unique tag to the packet. The host unique value is an arbitrary byte slice which is used by the client to associate a given response (PADO or PADS) to a particular request (PADI or PADR).

func (*PPPoEPacket) AddServiceNameErrorTag 

func (packet *PPPoEPacket) AddServiceNameErrorTag(reason string) (err error)

AddServiceNameErrorTag adds a service name error tag to the packet. The value may be an empty string, but should preferably be a human-readable string explaining why the request was denied.
