SLIP Protocol Overview
Serial Line
IP (SL
IP), documented in RFC 1055, was the first protocol
for relaying
IP packets over dial-up lines. It defines an encapsulation
mechanism, but little else. There is no support for dynamic
address assignment, link testing, or multiplexing different protocols
over a single link. SL
IP has been largely supplanted by
PPP.
