10INTRODUCTION
11
12Wide Area Networks (WANs) are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs)
13and/or stand-alone hosts over vast distances with data transfer rates
14significantly higher than those achievable with commonly used dial-up
15connections.
16
17Usually an external device called `WAN router' sitting on your local network
18or connected to your machine's serial port provides physical connection to
19WAN. Although router's job may be as simple as taking your local network
20traffic, converting it to WAN format and piping it through the WAN link, these
21devices are notoriously expensive, with prices as much as 2 - 5 times higher
22then the price of a typical PC box.
23
24Alternatively, considering robustness and multitasking capabilities of Linux,
25an internal router can be built (most routers use some sort of stripped down
26Unix-like operating system anyway). With a number of relatively inexpensive WAN
27interface cards available on the market, a perfectly usable router can be
28built for less than half a price of an external router. Yet a Linux box
29acting as a router can still be used for other purposes, such as fire-walling,
30running FTP, WWW or DNS server, etc.
31
32This kernel module introduces the notion of a WAN Link Driver (WLD) to Linux
33operating system and provides generic hardware-independent services for such
34drivers. Why can existing Linux network device interface not be used for
35this purpose? Well, it can. However, there are a few key differences between
36a typical network interface (e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN link.
37
38Many WAN protocols, such as X.25 and frame relay, allow for multiple logical
39connections (known as `virtual circuits' in X.25 terminology) over a single
40physical link. Each such virtual circuit may (and almost always does) lead
41to a different geographical location and, therefore, different network. As a
42result, it is the virtual circuit, not the physical link, that represents a
43route and, therefore, a network interface in Linux terms.
44
45To further complicate things, virtual circuits are usually volatile in nature
46(excluding so called `permanent' virtual circuits or PVCs). With almost no
47time required to set up and tear down a virtual circuit, it is highly desirable
48to implement on-demand connections in order to minimize network charges. So
49unlike a typical network driver, the WAN driver must be able to handle multiple
50network interfaces and cope as multiple virtual circuits come into existence
51and go away dynamically.
52
53Last, but not least, WAN configuration is much more complex than that of say
54Ethernet and may well amount to several dozens of parameters. Some of them
55are "link-wide" while others are virtual circuit-specific. The same holds
56true for WAN statistics which is by far more extensive and extremely useful
57when troubleshooting WAN connections. Extending the ifconfig utility to suit
58these needs may be possible, but does not seem quite reasonable. Therefore, a
59WAN configuration utility and corresponding application programmer's interface
60is needed for this purpose.
61
62Most of these problems are taken care of by this module. Its goal is to
63provide a user with more-or-less standard look and feel for all WAN devices and
64assist a WAN device driver writer by providing common services, such as:
65
66 o User-level interface via /proc file system
67 o Centralized configuration
68 o Device management (setup, shutdown, etc.)
69 o Network interface management (dynamic creation/destruction)
70 o Protocol encapsulation/decapsulation
71
72To ba able to use the Linux WAN Router you will also need a WAN Tools package
73available from
74
75 ftp.sangoma.com/pub/linux/current_wanpipe/wanpipe-X.Y.Z.tgz
76
77where vX.Y.Z represent the wanpipe version number.

115ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
116
117This product is based on the WANPIPE(tm) Multiprotocol WAN Router developed
118by Sangoma Technologies Inc. for Linux 2.0.x and 2.2.x. Success of the WANPIPE
119together with the next major release of Linux kernel in summer 1996 commanded
120adequate changes to the WANPIPE code to take full advantage of new Linux
121features.
122
123Instead of continuing developing proprietary interface tied to Sangoma WAN
124cards, we decided to separate all hardware-independent code into a separate
125module and defined two levels of interfaces - one for user-level applications
126and another for kernel-level WAN drivers. WANPIPE is now implemented as a
127WAN driver compliant with the WAN Link Driver interface. Also a general
128purpose WAN configuration utility and a set of shell scripts was developed to
129support WAN router at the user level.
130
131Many useful ideas concerning hardware-independent interface implementation
132were given by Mike McLagan <mike.mclagan@linux.org> and his implementation
133of the Frame Relay router and drivers for Sangoma cards (dlci/sdla).
134
135With the new implementation of the APIs being incorporated into the WANPIPE,
136a special thank goes to Alan Cox in providing insight into BSD sockets.
137
138Special thanks to all the WANPIPE users who performed field-testing, reported
139bugs and made valuable comments and suggestions that help us to improve this
140product.
141
142
143
144NEW IN THIS RELEASE
145
146 o Updated the WANCFG utility
147 Calls the pppconfig to configure the PPPD
148 for async connections.
149
150 o Added the PPPCONFIG utility
151 Used to configure the PPPD daemon for the
152 WANPIPE Async PPP and standard serial port.
153 The wancfg calls the pppconfig to configure
154 the pppd.
155
156 o Fixed the PCI autodetect feature.
157 The SLOT 0 was used as an autodetect option
158 however, some high end PC's slot numbers start
159 from 0.
160
161 o This release has been tested with the new backupd
162 daemon release.

353 Kernel patch works for both 2.2.10 and 2.2.11 kernels.
354 There is no functional difference between the two packages
355
3562.0.7 Aug 26, 1999 o Merged X25API code into WANPIPE.
357 o Fixed a memory leak for X25API
358 o Updated the X25API code for 2.2.X kernels.
359 o Improved NEM handling.
360
3612.1.0 Oct 25, 1999 o New code for S514 PCI Card
362 o New CHDLC and Frame Relay drivers
363 o PPP and X25 are not supported in this release
364
3652.1.1 Nov 30, 1999 o PPP support for S514 PCI Cards
366
3672.1.3 Apr 06, 2000 o Socket based x25api

372 o cfgft1 GUI csu/dsu configurator
373 o wancfg GUI configuration file
374 configurator.
375 o Architectural directory changes.
376
377beta-2.1.4 Jul 2000 o Dynamic interface configuration:
378 Network interfaces reflect the state
379 of protocol layer. If the protocol becomes
380 disconnected, driver will bring down
381 the interface. Once the protocol reconnects
382 the interface will be brought up.
383
384 Note: This option is turned off by default.
385
386 o Dynamic wanrouter setup using 'wanconfig':
387 wanconfig utility can be used to
388 shutdown,restart,start or reconfigure
389 a virtual circuit dynamically.
390
391 Frame Relay: Each DLCI can be:
392 created,stopped,restarted and reconfigured
393 dynamically using wanconfig.
394
395 ex: wanconfig card wanpipe1 dev wp1_fr16 up
396
397 o Wanrouter startup via command line arguments:
398 wanconfig also supports wanrouter startup via command line
399 arguments. Thus, there is no need to create a wanpipe#.conf
400 configuration file.
401
402 o Socket based x25api update/bug fixes.
403 Added support for LCN numbers greater than 255.
404 Option to pass up modem messages.
405 Provided a PCI IRQ check, so a single S514
406 card is guaranteed to have a non-sharing interrupt.
407
408 o Fixes to the wancfg utility.
409 o New FT1 debugging support via *pipemon utilities.
410 o Frame Relay ARP support Enabled.
411
412beta3-2.1.4 Jul 2000 o X25 M_BIT Problem fix.
413 o Added the Multi-Port PPP
414 Updated utilities for the Multi-Port PPP.
415
4162.1.4 Aut 2000
417 o In X25API:
418 Maximum packet an application can send
419 to the driver has been extended to 4096 bytes.
420
421 Fixed the x25 startup bug. Enable
422 communications only after all interfaces
423 come up. HIGH SVC/PVC is used to calculate
424 the number of channels.
425 Enable protocol only after all interfaces
426 are enabled.
427
428 o Added an extra state to the FT1 config, kernel module.
429 o Updated the pipemon debuggers.
430
431 o Blocked the Multi-Port PPP from running on kernels
432 2.2.16 or greater, due to syncppp kernel module
433 change.
434
435beta1-2.1.5 Nov 15 2000
436 o Fixed the MultiPort PPP Support for kernels 2.2.16 and above.
437 2.2.X kernels only
438
439 o Secured the driver UDP debugging calls
440 - All illegal network debugging calls are reported to
441 the log.
442 - Defined a set of allowed commands, all other denied.
443
444 o Cpipemon
445 - Added set FT1 commands to the cpipemon. Thus CSU/DSU
446 configuration can be performed using cpipemon.
447 All systems that cannot run cfgft1 GUI utility should
448 use cpipemon to configure the on board CSU/DSU.
449
450
451 o Keyboard Led Monitor/Debugger
452 - A new utility /usr/sbin/wpkbdmon uses keyboard leds
453 to convey operational statistic information of the
454 Sangoma WANPIPE cards.
455 NUM_LOCK = Line State (On=connected, Off=disconnected)
456 CAPS_LOCK = Tx data (On=transmitting, Off=no tx data)
457 SCROLL_LOCK = Rx data (On=receiving, Off=no rx data
458
459 o Hardware probe on module load and dynamic device allocation
460 - During WANPIPE module load, all Sangoma cards are probed
461 and found information is printed in the /var/log/messages.
462 - If no cards are found, the module load fails.
463 - Appropriate number of devices are dynamically loaded
464 based on the number of Sangoma cards found.
465
466 Note: The kernel configuration option
467 CONFIG_WANPIPE_CARDS has been taken out.
468
469 o Fixed the Frame Relay and Chdlc network interfaces so they are
470 compatible with libpcap libraries. Meaning, tcpdump, snort,
471 ethereal, and all other packet sniffers and debuggers work on
472 all WANPIPE network interfaces.
473 - Set the network interface encoding type to ARPHRD_PPP.
474 This tell the sniffers that data obtained from the
475 network interface is in pure IP format.
476 Fix for 2.2.X kernels only.
477
478 o True interface encoding option for Frame Relay and CHDLC
479 - The above fix sets the network interface encoding
480 type to ARPHRD_PPP, however some customers use
481 the encoding interface type to determine the
482 protocol running. Therefore, the TURE ENCODING
483 option will set the interface type back to the
484 original value.
485
486 NOTE: If this option is used with Frame Relay and CHDLC
487 libpcap library support will be broken.
488 i.e. tcpdump will not work.
489 Fix for 2.2.x Kernels only.
490
491 o Ethernet Bridgind over Frame Relay
492 - The Frame Relay bridging has been developed by
493 Kristian Hoffmann and Mark Wells.
494 - The Linux kernel bridge is used to send ethernet
495 data over the frame relay links.
496 For 2.2.X Kernels only.
497
498 o Added extensive 2.0.X support. Most new features of
499 2.1.5 for protocols Frame Relay, PPP and CHDLC are
500 supported under 2.0.X kernels.

515 o Minor updates to PPP and CHLDC drivers.
516 Note: No functional difference.
517
518beta3-2.2.9 Jan 10 2001
519 o I missed the 2.2.18 kernel patches in beta2-2.2.0
520 release. They are included in this release.
521
522Stable Release
5232.2.0 Feb 01 2001
524 o Bug fix in wancfg GUI configurator.
525 The edit function didn't work properly.
526
527
528bata1-2.2.1 Feb 09 2001
529 o WANPIPE TTY Driver emulation.
530 Two modes of operation Sync and Async.
531 Sync: Using the PPPD daemon, kernel SyncPPP layer
532 and the Wanpipe sync TTY driver: a PPP protocol
533 connection can be established via Sangoma adapter, over
534 a T1 leased line.
535
536 The 2.4.0 kernel PPP layer supports MULTILINK
537 protocol, that can be used to bundle any number of Sangoma
538 adapters (T1 lines) into one, under a single IP address.
539 Thus, efficiently obtaining multiple T1 throughput.
540
541 NOTE: The remote side must also implement MULTILINK PPP
542 protocol.
543
544 Async:Using the PPPD daemon, kernel AsyncPPP layer
545 and the WANPIPE async TTY driver: a PPP protocol
546 connection can be established via Sangoma adapter and
547 a modem, over a telephone line.
548
549 Thus, the WANPIPE async TTY driver simulates a serial
550 TTY driver that would normally be used to interface the
551 MODEM to the linux kernel.
552
553 o WANPIPE PPP Backup Utility
554 This utility will monitor the state of the PPP T1 line.
555 In case of failure, a dial up connection will be established
556 via pppd daemon, ether via a serial tty driver (serial port),
557 or a WANPIPE async TTY driver (in case serial port is unavailable).
558
559 Furthermore, while in dial up mode, the primary PPP T1 link
560 will be monitored for signs of life.
561
562 If the PPP T1 link comes back to life, the dial up connection
563 will be shutdown and T1 line re-established.
564
565
566 o New Setup installation script.
567 Option to UPGRADE device drivers if the kernel source has
568 already been patched with WANPIPE.
569
570 Option to COMPILE WANPIPE modules against the currently
571 running kernel, thus no need for manual kernel and module
572 re-compilation.
573
574 o Updates and Bug Fixes to wancfg utility.
575
576bata2-2.2.1 Feb 20 2001
577
578 o Bug fixes to the CHDLC device drivers.
579 The driver had compilation problems under kernels
580 2.2.14 or lower.
581
582 o Bug fixes to the Setup installation script.
583 The device drivers compilation options didn't work
584 properly.
585
586 o Update to the wpbackupd daemon.
587 Optimized the cross-over times, between the primary
588 link and the backup dialup.
589
590beta3-2.2.1 Mar 02 2001
591 o Patches for 2.4.2 kernel.
592
593 o Bug fixes to util/ make files.
594 o Bug fixes to the Setup installation script.
595
596 o Took out the backupd support and made it into
597 as separate package.
598
599beta4-2.2.1 Mar 12 2001
600
601 o Fix to the Frame Relay Device driver.
602 IPSAC sends a packet of zero length
603 header to the frame relay driver. The
604 driver tries to push its own 2 byte header
605 into the packet, which causes the driver to
606 crash.
607
608 o Fix the WANPIPE re-configuration code.
609 Bug was found by trying to run the cfgft1 while the
610 interface was already running.
611
612 o Updates to cfgft1.
613 Writes a wanpipe#.cfgft1 configuration file
614 once the CSU/DSU is configured. This file can
615 holds the current CSU/DSU configuration.
