Subject: Re: problems with L2TP

Thanks for your reply, Tom!

> How is the tunnel/session being created on the server side?

My server is xl2tpd. If I understand correctly, session and tunnel are
being created in start_pppd() function, see [1].
Judging from xl2tpd logs (see [2]), start_pppd() function is executed,
in turn, from control_finish() (see [3]), when "c->msgtype" switch is
in "case ICCN:" (marked as "Incoming-Call-Connected" in log).
Tunnel ID and call ID for server side are generated in new_tunnel()
and new_call() functions, accordingly.
Tunnel ID and call ID for client side, I believe, are being received
from client in this code: [4] (see get_call() and get_tunnel()
functions calls).

> How are you deriving the session and tunnel IDs?

If you mean how they are generated at client side -- they are
basically random values (I'm using modified "mtpd" tool from Android):
 - session ID -- see "local_session" variable at [5]
 - tunnel ID -- see "local_tunnel" variable at [6].

I will try to play with tunnel_id/session_id values for both tunnel
and session sockets (in code from my first message) and see if it
helps.

Thanks!
