Description Fabian Mauchle 2009-10-22 05:13:23 EDT

Created attachment 636 [details]
patch

IPv6 can currently not communicate over a Point-to-Point link because its header has a hardcoded protocol value for IPv4.

The patch adds a protocol field to the Point-to-Point-Header and some methods to convert between PPP- and Ethernet- protocol numbers.

Comment 1 Sebastien Vincent 2009-10-22 07:51:55 EDT

Patch looks good.

Some (very very) minor comments:
- According to our naming convention: PPPtoETHER -> PppToEther and ETHERtoPPP -> EtherToPpp;
- \param and \return doxygen for PppToEther and EtherToPpp methods;
- Doxygen for m_protocol member.
