Point to Point Protocol
Overview Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a complete specification for transmitting datagrams between data communications equipment from different manufacturers over dial-up and dedicated serial point-to-point links. It is a recommended standard of the Internet Advisory Board (IAB) and is represented by a number of RFCs (Request for Comments) produced by the Point-to-Point Protocol Working Group. As a universal standard, PPP enables multivendor interoperability across serial links—traditionally restricted to equipment supplied by the same manufacturer. PPP was first proposed as a standard in 1990 to replace an older de facto standard known as SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) that requires links to be established and torn down manually. However, unlike SLIP which only supports IP, PPP is not limited in protocol support. PPP provides the flexibility to add support for other protocols through software upgrades.
