Custom PPP stack Architecture

Hi Experts,

Here is my problem. I am supposed to port the custom PPP stack running on
linux to Windows 2000/XP professional. I have decided to place the Custom
PPP driver as an intermediate driver with connectionless protocol in its
upper edge and connection oriented protocol in the lower edge, so that our
own CoNDISWan driver can bind with it. I have come to this architecture with
my little knowledge in the NDIS drivers . Is there any better way to
approach this problem. All your comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks,
Cyril

Cyril,

AFAIK Windows 2000/XP+ already includes a PPP stack implementation.

Some time ago I implemented a simple CoNDIS miniport wrapper that redirected
packets from our usermode part to the PPP stack and vice versa.
MS RAS service worked with our virtual WAN adapter rather good.

Do you mean your driver implements CoNDIS or NDISWan model?
FYI a CoNDIS miniport will work only on Win2000+ but as you told this is OK for you.

Best regards,
Valeriy Glushkov

Valeriy,

Thanks for your reply. because of the power management nature of the native
Windows PPP during active connections,
we are going for the Custom one.

Thanks,
Cyril

You will not be able to use RAS components with custom PPP. You will need
to write the Network Connections management yourself for your custom PPP. You
will also need to write the dialer apps too.
