When two ppp channels are bridged, frames presented to ppp_input() on one channel are passed to the other channel's ->start_xmit function for transmission. The primary use-case for this functionality is in an L2TP Access Concentrator where PPP frames are typically presented in a PPPoE session (e.g. from a home broadband user) and are forwarded to the ISP network in a PPPoL2TP session. The two new ioctls, PPPIOCBRIDGECHAN and PPPIOCUNBRIDGECHAN form a symmetric pair. Userspace code testing and illustrating use of the ioctl calls is available in the go-l2tp[2] and l2tp-ktest[3] repositories. [1].

Support for the PPPIOCBRIDGECHAN ioctl is on a branch: https://github.com/katalix/go-l2tp/tree/tp_002_pppoe_2 [3]. l2tp-ktest: a test suite for the Linux Kernel L2TP subsystem.
