|
||
|
|
<div><p>Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a TCP/IP protocol used to connect
|
||
|
|
one computer system to another. Computers use <strong>PPP</strong>, or <strong>Point-to-Point
|
||
|
|
Protocol</strong>, to communicate over the telephone network or the Internet.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A PPP connection exists when two systems physically connect through a telephone
|
||
|
|
line. You can use PPP to connect one system to another. For example, an established
|
||
|
|
PPP connection between a branch office and a central office allows either
|
||
|
|
office to transfer data to the other through the network.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>PPP is an Internet standard. It is the most widely used connection protocol
|
||
|
|
among Internet Service Providers (ISPs). You can use PPP to connect to your
|
||
|
|
ISP; your ISP then gives you connectivity to the Internet.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>PPP allows interoperability among the remote access software of different
|
||
|
|
manufacturers. It also allows multiple network communication protocols to
|
||
|
|
use the same physical communication line.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following Request For Comment (RFC) standards describe the PPP protocol.
|
||
|
|
You can find more information about the RFCs on the <a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org" target="_blank">RFC Editor</a> Web page.</p>
