IpPool Software =============== IpPool is a userspace daemon for managing one or more pools of IP addresses. It was developed as part of the OpenL2TP project (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openl2tp/) but has since been repackaged so that it may be used independently of OpenL2TP. IpPool is not intended for use where DHCP is used. Rather, IpPool provides a generic IP address allocation mechanism for applications such as VPN servers which hand out IP addresses to VPN clients. Planned Work ============ The following features (in priority order) are planned for a future release:- - Move usl and cli subdirectories into separate components. They are identical to the files released with openl2tp. Suggested Projects ================== - A GUI management application using the RPC binary interface. A Java application would be ideal, using one of the Java RPC tools to implement the API, e.g. http://netbula.com/ or http://www.onc-rpc-xdr.com/. - Make binary packages for the popular Linux distributions, e.g. RedHat, SuSE, Debian. Write startup scripts for each which would load the pppol2tp kernel module (if appropriate) and start the openl2tpd daemon. License ======= See the LICENSE file in this directory.
