PPP Standards
(Page 3 of 3)
Feature Protocols
These protocols define optional features used with PPP, such as compression and encryption (Table 28).
RFC Number |
Standard Name |
Description |
1962 |
The PPP Compression Control Protocol (CCP) |
Defines a mechanism for compressing data sent over PPP links to improve performance. This standard describes how compression is negotiated between two devices on a PPP link. It is used in conjunction with several compression algorithms that actually do the compression of data. |
1968 |
The PPP Encryption Control Protocol (ECP) |
Defines a mechanism for encrypting data sent over PPP links to improve performance. This standard describes how encryption is negotiated between two devices. It is used with several encryption algorithms. |
1989 |
PPP Link Quality Monitoring |
Defines a protocol that lets PPP devices generate reports to each other about the quality of the link. |
1990 |
The PPP Multilink Protocol (MP) |
Defines a method for running PPP over a set of aggregated links, allowing two devices to use multiple low-bandwidth links as a single, high-bandwidth virtual link. |
2125 |
The PPP Bandwidth Allocation Protocol (BAP) / The PPP Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP) |
Defines two support protocols that manage the allocation of bandwidth in links aggregated using the PPP Multilink Protocol (MP). |
These protocols describe how PPP can be adapted to run over particular types of links, or that don't really fit into any of the other groups above. They are shown in Table 29.
RFC Number |
Standard Name |
Description |
1618 |
PPP over ISDN |
Describes application particulars for running PPP over ISDN links. |
1973 |
PPP in Frame Relay |
Describes how PPP may be modified to run over Frame Relay at layer two. |
2290 |
Mobile-IPv4 Configuration Option for PPP IPCP |
Defines changes to the PPP Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) to support Mobile IP. |
2364 |
PPP Over AAL5 |
Defines a method for sending PPP frames over AAL5 (ATM); commonly called PPPoA. |
2516 |
A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) |
Defines a technique for encapsulating PPP frames over Ethernet (PPPoE). |
2615 |
PPP over SONET/SDH |
Discusses how to encapsulate PPP frames over SONET/SDH links. |
