RFC 2516 - A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)

Every requirement this repository extracted from RFC 2516, the tests bound to it, and what a reader has verified about them. This summary is enrolled and gated by ./le rfc check.

Overview

Positive

what Ze has

Tested both ways57.1%12 of 21 binding obligations

a positive test proves Ze does what the requirement demands and a negative one proves it refuses what the requirement forbids

One polarity plus reason38.1%8 of 21 binding obligations

the requirement admits no counter-case, so one polarity plus a recorded reason is the whole proof available for it

One polarity, unexcused0.0%0 of 21 binding obligations

one direction is tested, the other is neither tested nor excused, and nothing states which

Proven by a recorded break0.0%0 of 34 tagged units

a red was observed once under a recorded procedure, and the unit, the claim and the producer it rested on still hash to what was recorded. The break is not re-run. A test pair is not a proof until one has been observed

Neutral

measures that are neither good news nor bad

Gated MUSTs21of 25 this summary declares

MUST-level requirements the gate HOLDS. A population, not a result: the shares beside it are what says how Ze stands

Out of scope0of 21 gated MUSTs

a {not-applicable} annotation says the obligation does not bind Ze. Scope, not coverage: it is in no share below

Negative

what Ze owes

No test at all4.8%1 of 21 binding obligations

no test carries the requirement id, whether or not a gap states why

The 4 shares marked as a part above are the whole of the 21 obligations that bind Ze: they add to 100%. Proven by a recorded break is a share of TAGGED UNITS, a different population, so it is not one of them.

How to read the colors

A color names what the measure MEANS, not how well Ze scores on it. Green is a good outcome at any value, red is a bad one, and neither a population nor a scope count is an outcome, so both take no color. The number under the label is what says how far Ze has got.

CardTone hereWhy that color
Gated MUSTs neutral no color: a population is a scale, and a larger one is neither good news nor bad. It is the accounting total
Out of scope neutral no color: an obligation that never bound Ze is neither an achievement nor a failure, and counting it either way would be a claim
Tested both ways ok green at every value: a test pair is the outcome this gate exists to produce, and the share under the label is what says how far Ze has got
One polarity plus reason ok green at every value: where no counter-case exists, one polarity IS the complete answer, and a recorded reason is what the gate demands beside it
One polarity, unexcused ok green at zero, RED above it: half a proof with no reason for the other half
No test at all bad green at zero, RED above it: a binding obligation nothing exercises is a claim with nothing behind it, whether or not a reason is stated
Proven by a recorded break ok green at every value: an observed break is the outcome the discrimination gate exists to produce. The denominator is TAGGED UNITS, not obligations, so this share is not one of the parts above
Audit verdicts warn RED on the first weak, wrong or unimplemented verdict, amber while a verdict is no longer current or a gated MUST is unjudged, green when every one is judged sound and current

Enrolment

Enrolled: A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet / PPPoE (RFC 2516): AC + client, both roles. 12 MET (VER/TYPE nibble=1 and discard ver/type!=0x11, reject broadcast/multicast source, Relay-Session-Id echo, Host-Uniq echo in PADO/PADS, AC-Cookie + Host-Uniq echo in PADR, no PADO for unservable Service-Name, PADT verified on SESSION_ID+source MAC) + 8 single-polarity positive (no non-zero End-Of-List, unicast destinations, unknown tags tolerated, client LCP MRU 1492, PADI one Service-Name to broadcast, PADR/PADS one Service-Name) + 1 gap (BuildPADO can emit a PADO with zero Service-Name tags under accept-any config)

What the public ledger says

Status: Partial

What the ledger says is covered:

Access concentrator (PADI/PADO/PADR/PADS/PADT discovery, AC-Cookie, session tables, AF_PPPOX kernel sessions) and PPPoE client/Host dialer, over the shared PPP driver. Tests bound per requirement in rfc/requirements/rfc2516.md.
What the ledger says remains One MUST gap, gated in rfc/short/rfc2516.md: RFC2516-5.2-2 -- BuildPADO (internal/component/l2tp/pppoe/discovery.go) can emit a PADO carrying only an AC-Name and no Service-Name tag when the AC has no configured service names (the documented accept-any config) and the client's PADI Service-Name is empty or absent, violating the one-or-more Service-Name MUST.

{single-polarity}: ze never constructs an End-Of-List tag (builders set the payload length instead, discovery.go:291), and parseTags treats a zero-length End-Of-List as the list terminator (discovery.go:161), so no non-zero-length End-Of-List is ever produced and no negative case exists

RFC2516-5.2-2PADO MUST contain one AC-Name tag and one or more Service-Name tags (§5.2)
MUST 5.2
positiveno testno positive test

{single-polarity}: emit-side: BuildPADS echoes the single Service-Name from a conformant PADR (discovery.go:365); no negative case exists on the AC send path

RFC2516-x-6PADO/PADR/PADS/PADT destination MUST be unicast; broadcast destination is silently discarded (Encoding Rules)
MUST x
positiveunit/verifyTestBuildPADT
negativeno testno negative test

{single-polarity}: emit-side: every builder addresses PADO/PADR/PADS/PADT to the peer unicast MAC derived from its unicast source (discovery.go:320, 336, 362, 387); the receive-side broadcast-destination discard is not enforced (ParseDiscovery validates only the source, discovery.go:108)

RFC2516-x-8Unknown tags MUST NOT cause an error; silently ignore (Encoding Rules)
MUST x
positiveunit/verifyTestUnknownTagIgnored
negativeno testno negative test

{single-polarity}: tolerate requirement: parseTags stores unknown tag types generically and never errors on them (discovery.go:154); rejecting an unknown tag would itself violate the MUST NOT, so no negative exists

RFC2516-x-9LCP MUST negotiate MRU to 1492 or lower unless both sides support RFC 4638 and the Ethernet path supports larger frames (MTU)
MUST x
positiveunit/verifyTestLCPConfigRequestMRU
negativeno testno negative test

{single-polarity}: ceiling requirement: the client proposes MRU 1492 by default in its LCP Configure-Request (dialer.go:114, session.go:487) and the AC caps MaxMRU at PPPoEMaxMTU 1492 (server.go:203); 1492 is the maximum so there is no negative

Extraction sign-off

No extraction sign-off exists for RFC 2516, so no reviewer has walked its text sentence by sentence.

Superseded

No document obsoletes RFC 2516, so its obligations are stated where they were written.
