Abstract

   Telecommunications infrastructure is improving to offer higher
   bandwidth connections at lower cost. Access to the network is
   changing from modems to more intelligent devices. This informational
   RFC discusses a PPP Network Control Protocol for one such intelligent
   device. The protocol is the LAN extension interface protocol.
