Introducing PPP
What is PPP?
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) originally emerged as an encapsulation protocol for transporting IP
traffic over point-to-point links. PPP also established a standard for assigning and managing IP
addresses, asynchronous and bit-oriented synchronous encapsulation, network protocol multiplexing,
link configuration, link quality testing, error detection, and option negotiation for added networking capa-
bilities.
What is LCP, IPCP and BCP?
PPP provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links, which include the fol-
lowing three components:
• A method for encapsulating datagrams over serial links.
• An extensible Link Control Protocol (LCP) which provides a method of establishing, configuring,
maintaining, and terminating the point-to-point connection.
• A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different network layer
protocols such as the IP Control Protocol (IPCP) or the Bridge Control Protocol (BCP).
What is CHAP?
The Telindus 1031 Router also features the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). This
is a standardised authentication protocol (in compliance with RFC1994) over PPP links. The password
is hashed before sending it over the link. The used hashing algorithm is MD5. CHAP authentication over
a link can be performed in one direction or in both directions.
The PPP handshake
PPP makes a handshake in two phases:
Phase
Description
1
The Link Control Protocol (LCP) builds the link layer.
2
The IP Control Protocol (IPCP) prepares the exchange of IP packets.
