Hi, 

I'm a newbie in netgraph structures and I will like to ask your advice
about some PPPoE related ideas. 

I'm using a FreeBDS box with PPPoE installed and working as a gateway.  My
goal is to establish basic administration and accounting for PPPoE users.

The basic accounting needs (not commercial goals) are:  

1. Keep track of the MAC addresses and users names of the PPPoE
connections to the gateway, store time connection of the session and
traffic generated.
2. Dynamic assignation of IP address. (I think on two possibilities a)
PPPoE assignation: when PADR arrives, the gw should look into a pool of IP
adresses and assign one "before calling PPP". B) leave PPP the assignation
and capture the IP in other way). 

Result: A log file produced with a session match of:

MAC add - IP add - username - time of session.

Should I touch the ng_pppoe code? or should I create a netgraph node to
place between ng_node and ng_ppp? 
Am I on the good way 

Thanks in advance,

Federico Quevedo
