Abstract
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method for
transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP
defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and proposes a family of
Network Control Protocols for establishing and configuring different
network-layer protocols.
The PPP Serial Data Transport Protocol (PPP-SDTP) [2] provides a
standard method for encapsulating and transporting serial data over a
PPP link. The PPP Compression Control Protocol [3] provides a
standard method for selecting and using a compression protocol to
provide for data compression on a PPP link.
This document defines a specific set of parameters for these
protocols and an LCP extension to define a standard way of using PPP
for data compression of serial data in Data Circuit-Terminating
Equipment (DCE).
