The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard
method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP
is comprised of three main components:
·
A method for encapsulating multi-protocol datagrams.
·
A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring, and testing
the data-link connection.
·
A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and
configuring different network-layer protocols.
Keywords:
data link layer, multiprotocol, encapsulation, link control, network
control.
