PPTP stands for Point to Point Tunneling Protocol and is an extension of the PPP
protocol, defined per
RFC 1171
. PPTP allows organizations to use the Internet to
securely transmit data across a VPN. It does this by embedding its own network
protocol within the TCP/IP packets carried by the Internet, which is referred to as
tunneling or encapsulation. PPTP in its barest form works by encapsulating
packets inside PPP packets, which are in turn encapsulated in Generic Routing
Encapsulation (GRE) packets. The GRE packets are sent over IP to the
destination PPTP server and back again. The image below shows the structure
of a PPTP network packet.
The PPTP protocol provides the following key security elements:
