ppp & lqr problem - Warning: lqr_RecvEcho: Got packet size 6, expecting 12 !

[Alen Sarkinovic]

Hi Sten,

I'we done some tcpdump with protocol decode option on the actualy Box ->

1) connection initiated by MTA 3328-2Re equipment :

11:43:22.189696 PPPoE [ses 0x1a] LCP, Echo-Request (0x09), id 4, length 18
encoded length 16 (=Option(s) length 12)
Magic-Num 0x5c6f43f5
Data
0x0000: 594e 4f54 0000 0004
11:43:22.190473 PPPoE [ses 0x1a] LCP, Echo-Reply (0x0a), id 4, length 12
encoded length 10 (=Option(s) length 6)
Magic-Num 0x0000311d
Data
0x0000: 1e11 0000 0000
11:43:22.461148 802.1d config 8000.00:04:c0:76:db:09.801b root
8000.00:04:c0:76:db:09 pathcost 0 age 0 max 20 hello 2 fdelay 15


2) conection initiated by Windows 2000 Workstation with client RASPPPOE
software :

11:46:14.990785 PPPoE [ses 0x1d] LCP, Echo-Request (0x09), id 2, length 18
11:46:14.991096 PPPoE [ses 0x1d] LCP, Echo-Reply (0x0a), id 2, length 18

I send more detailed trace logs to InnoMedia and waiting for response.

Best regards,

Alen

Well, yes, they (Cisco) probably ignore the fact that the data field is
missing and consider an Echo-Reply (without data) as being equally good
as Echo-Reply (with data) to be backwards compatible (Data field was not
defined in initial PPP RFC).

To be honest I'd probably do the same as a service provider.
