Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) initial configuration options

Status of this Memo This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet community. Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Abstract The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links. PPP is composed of 1) a method for encapsulating datagrams over serial links, 2) an extensible Link Control Protocol (LCP), and 3) a family of Network Control Protocols (NCP) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols. The PPP encapsulating scheme, the basic LCP, and an NCP for controlling and establishing the Internet Protocol (IP) (called the IP Control Protocol, IPCP) are defined in The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1]. This document defines the intial options used by the LCP and IPCP. It also defines a method of Link Quality Monitoring and a simple authentication scheme.
