Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
Introduction to PPP
Point-To-Point Protocol (PPP) is designed for simple links, which transport packets between two
peers. These links provide full-duplex simultaneous bi-directional operation, and are assumed to
deliver packets in order. PPP is intended to provide a common solution for easy connection for a
wide variety of hosts, bridges and routers.
In the process of configuring, maintaining and terminating the point-to-point link, PPP goes
through several distinct phases, as specified in the following simplified state diagram:
