           Summary: PPP Idle Timeout not reset automatically
           Product: eCos
           Version: 3.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement

        AssignedTo: unassigned@bugs.ecos.sourceware.org

             Class: Advice Request


I'm running with the FreeBSD stack if it matters, but what I'm seeing is PPP
doesn't seem to reset the PPP timeout the next time it connects.n

Code is roughly init_all_network_interfaces(), followed by cyg_ppp_up() which
is then allowed to time out from traffic going to idle.  Then cyg_ppp_up() is
called a few minutes later and eCos seems to be timing out immediately.  Info
printed to the debug output looks like this:

SYSLOG 08: Using interface ppp0 
SYSLOG 04: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ser0 
SYSLOG 04: local  IP address 10.20.20.2 
SYSLOG 04: remote IP address 10.20.20.1 
SYSLOG 08: Terminating connection due to lack of activity. 
SYSLOG 04: Connection terminated, connected for 1 minutes 

Then later on:
SYSLOG 08: Using interface ppp0 
SYSLOG 04: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ser0 
SYSLOG 08: Connect time expired 
SYSLOG 04: Connection terminated, connected for 1 minutes 

Note that the second connection doesn't show that termination is due to lack of
activity but that connect time has expired.
No matter how many times cyg_ppp_up is called again, it never connects again
:-(

Workaround is to disable PPP Idle timeouts in the PPP options
