1. Abstract
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method for
transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP
also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol (LCP), which allows
negotiation of an Authentication Protocol for authenticating its peer
before allowing Network Layer protocols to transmit over the link.
Both LCP and Authentication Protocol packets may contain text which
is intended to be human-readable [2,3,4]. This document defines an
LCP configuration option for the negotiation of character set and
language usage, as required by RFC 2277 [5].
2. Specification of Requirements
In this document, the key words "MAY", "MUST, "MUST NOT", "optional",
"recommended", "SHOULD", and "SHOULD NOT" are to be interpreted as
described in [6].
3. Additional LCP Configuration Option
The Configuration Option format and basic options are already defined
for LCP [1].
