<abstract>
<t>The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links.  PPP
   defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and proposes a family of Network Control Protocols for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.</t>
<t>The PPP Serial Data Transport Protocol (PPP-SDTP)provides a standard method for encapsulating and transporting serial data over a PPP link.  The PPP Compression Control Protocolprovides a standard method for selecting and using a compression protocol to provide for data compression on a PPP link.</t>
<t>This document defines a specific set of parameters for these protocols and an LCP extension to define a standard way of using PPP for data compression of serial data in Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE).</t></abstract></front>
