It is partially done. mpd uses common sockets to connect ppp, ccp and 
ecp nodes of all links. But some link types still could be improved.

Agree.

It would be nice. The biggest consumer of socket buffers I remember is 
`ngctl list`. May be it could be reimplemented somehow to transfer 
information in smaller chunks.

By the way about features: there were request recently to allow PPPoE 
over ng_eiface interface. I think it should not be very difficult to add 
orphan hook and several control requests to it to behave alike to ng_ether.
