Re: Hidden Features in BEFW11S4 Firmware v1.39.2

When you turn on the extended logging functions, you get interesting log entries such as:

PPP Rx: [1], proto=c021 code=10 sid=21a5, state=255
PPP Rx: [1], proto=c021 code=9 sid=21a5, state=255
PPP Rx: [1], echo request
PPP Tx: [1], proto=c021 code=10 sid=21a5, state=255
PPP Tx: [1], echo reply

Does anyone know anything about what these are? I know that they're PPPoE realted... and that Protocol c021 is the Link Control Protocol, and Code 10 is Echo Reply and Code 9 Is echo Request... However there are more code 10's and 9's than "Echo request" and "echo reply" entries...

Also there are entries like this:
[00:17:04]: free=447

Its free something, but doesn't change much. Memory? Entries in the NAT table? What?

How about these:
sizeof( NV_data ) = 4264
Send: PADI,PoE Type=1
Recv: PADO
(AC Cookie)
Send: PADR
(AC Cookie)
Recv: PADS (session id: 0x2227)

NV_data? Non Volitle Data? PADS is PPPoE Active Discovery Session-confirmation, PADO is PPPoE Active Discovery Offer, PADR is PPPoE Active Discovery Request... what about "AC Cookie"?

Also, is the "-- connection established. (count:1, session id:2227)" log entry only for PPPoE? Are there other log entries for RAS? (or straight WAN network DHCP)?

I'd like to put together some sort of reference for people to look at and understand all this info coming from their router.
