.Sh NAME
.Nm ng_deflate
.Nd Deflate PPP compression (RFC 1979) netgraph node type
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/types.h
.In netgraph/ng_deflate.h
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm deflate
node type implements the Deflate sub-protocols of the Compression Control
Protocol (CCP).
.Pp
The node has two hooks,
.Va comp
for compression and
.Va decomp
for decompression.
Only one of them can be connected at the same time, specifying node's
operation mode.
Typically that hooks would be connected to the
.Xr ng_ppp 4
node type hook of the same name.
Corresponding
.Xr ng_ppp 4
node hook must be switched to
.Dv NG_PPP_DECOMPRESS_FULL
mode to permit sending uncompressed frames.
.Sh HOOKS
This node type supports the following hooks:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -compact -width ".Va decomp"
.It Va comp
Connection to
.Xr ng_ppp 4
.Va comp
hook.
Incoming frames are compressed (if possible) and sent back out the same hook.
.It Va decomp
Connection to
.Xr ng_ppp 4
.Va decomp
hook.
Incoming frames are decompressed (if they are compressed), and sent
back out the same hook.
.El
.Pp
Only one hook can be connected at the same time, specifying node's
operation mode.
.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
.Bl -tag -width foo
.It Dv NGM_DEFLATE_CONFIG Pq Ic config
This command resets and configures the node for a session
(i.e., for compression or decompression).
This command takes a
.Vt "struct ng_deflate_config"
as an argument:
.Bd -literal -offset 0n
struct ng_deflate_config {
	u_char	enable;			/* node enabled */
	u_char	windowBits;		/* log2(Window size) */
};
.Ed
The
.Fa enabled
field enables traffic flow through the node.
The
.Fa windowBits
specify compression windows size as negotiated by the
Compression Control Protocol (CCP) in PPP.
.It Dv NGM_DEFLATE_RESETREQ Pq Ic resetreq
This message contains no arguments, and is bi-directional.
If an error is detected during decompression, this message is sent by the
node to the originator of the
.Dv NGM_DEFLATE_CONFIG
message that initiated the session.
The receiver should respond by sending a PPP CCP Reset-Request to the peer.
.Pp
This message may also be received by this node type when a CCP Reset-Request
or Reset-Ack is received by the local PPP entity.
The node will respond by flushing its compression state so the sides
can resynchronize.
.It Dv NGM_DEFLATE_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats
This control message obtains statistics for a given hook.
The statistics are returned in
.Vt "struct ng_deflate_stats" :
.Bd -literal
struct ng_deflate_stats {
	uint64_t	FramesPlain;
	uint64_t	FramesComp;
	uint64_t	FramesUncomp;
	uint64_t	InOctets;
	uint64_t	OutOctets;
	uint64_t	Errors;
};
.Ed
.It Dv NGM_DEFLATE_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats
This control message clears statistics for a given hook.
.It Dv NGM_DEFLATE_GETCLR_STATS Pq Ic getclrstats
This control message obtains and clears statistics for a given hook.
.El
.Sh SHUTDOWN
This node shuts down upon receipt of a
.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
control message, or when hook have been disconnected.

.Sh BUGS
Due to nature of netgraph PPP implementation there are possible race conditions
between data packet and ResetAck CCP packet in case of packet loss.
As result,
packet loss can produce bigger performance degradation than supposed by protocol.
