The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is one of several protocols
used to enable communication between ISPs and their
customers. PPP performs tasks such as the following:
Identifying the type of service the ISP provides to a given
customer
Identifying the customer to the ISP through a username
and password login
Enabling the ISP to assign Internet information to the
customer's computers
PPP can be used only when your connection with your ISP is a
routed connection, not with a bridged connection.
