Hello,

You need to specify the name of the network interface on which the tunnel will send its packets with the --basedev or -b option. The given network interface is used to detect the link MTU and compute the MTU of the tunnel.

I will soon update the source code to make the message clearer:
     wrong usage: underlying interface name is mandatory,
     use the --basedev or -b option to specify it

This modification will be shipped with the 0.8 release.

Regards,
Didier

That's not an option in config file, but a command line option for the iprohc_server/iprohc_client binaries.

FYI, I pushed the modification in the public branch at revision 112.
