Hi Christoph,

The MPPE is defined, as I see code conditionally compiled with #ifdef 
MPPE putting things in the log, like:
Feb  2 12:05:22 LEDE pppd[1580]: MPPE 128-bit stateful compression enabled

AFAICS the downloaded 2.4.7 sources in pppd/ccp.c define and understand 
the option mppe or +mppe with special arguments 
no40,no56,no128,stateless,required comma separated, as per int 
setmppe(char **argv) function... unless I am getting something wrong, 
obviously.

These are the options defined in ccp.c:
#ifdef MPPE
     { "mppc", o_bool, &ccp_wantoptions[0].mppc,
       "request MPPC compression", 1, &ccp_allowoptions[0].mppc },
     { "+mppc", o_bool, &ccp_wantoptions[0].mppc,
       "request MPPC compression", 1, &ccp_allowoptions[0].mppc, 
OPT_ALIAS },
     { "nomppc", o_bool, &ccp_wantoptions[0].mppc,
       "don't allow MPPC compression", OPT_PRIOSUB | OPT_A2CLR,
       &ccp_allowoptions[0].mppc },
     { "-mppc", o_bool, &ccp_wantoptions[0].mppc,
       "don't allow MPPC compression", OPT_ALIAS | OPT_PRIOSUB | OPT_A2CLR,
       &ccp_allowoptions[0].mppc },
     { "mppe", o_special, (void *)setmppe,
       "request MPPE encryption" },
     { "+mppe", o_special, (void *)setmppe,
       "request MPPE encryption" },
     { "nomppe", o_special_noarg, (void *)setnomppe,
       "don't allow MPPE encryption" },
     { "-mppe", o_special_noarg, (void *)setnomppe,
       "don't allow MPPE encryption" },
#endif /* MPPE */

These are the download definitions:
PKG_NAME:=ppp
PKG_VERSION:=2.4.7
PKG_RELEASE:\x10

PKG_SOURCE:=$(PKG_NAME)-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.gz
PKG_SOURCE_URL:=https://download.samba.org/pub/ppp/
PKG_HASH:\x02e0a3dd3e4799e33103f70ec7df75348c8540966ee7c948e4ed8a42bbccfb30
