//SPECS//
// The specs I got for LRD are:
// · LCP echo/reply packet are used to ensure the link quality.
// The link will be closed if 4 out of 5 echo reply pairs fail 
// i.e. server does not answer. LCP echo packet is sent after 
// every 10 seconds.
// So we just create a timer with a 10 secs period.
// On every tick 
// - Check it got an answer to the previous echo
// - If the link is open send another echo. 


//
// lrd functionnality can be tweaked through ppp.ini
// entries are:
// [lrd]
// PPPEnableLRD = 0:disabled/1:enabled
// PPPLRDPeriod = (a value between min period and max period)
_LIT(LRDSECTIONNAME,"lrd");
_LIT(LRDENTRYNAME_ENABLE,"PPPEnableLRD");

const TInt KPppLrdTimerPriority = 10;
const TInt KPppLrdDefaultTimerPeriod = 10; // 10 secs by default
const TInt KPppLrdTimerPeriodMax = 60; // 60 secs 
// Why would anybody want more than 60?
const TInt KPppLrdTimerPeriodMin = 03; // really small period 
// stops the ppp stack from working

// Nile spec says:
// Fails if 4 out of 5 (most recent) tries fail
// the way we detect that is by keeping track of our tries
// in a shift register associated with a counter 
// which keeps track of the number of bits in it.
// On each period, shift the register left (update bit counter)
// set the rightmost bit if we got an echo reply (update bit counter)
// Check the bit counter and see it has not dropped below KMaxNFailure
