<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>This document describes a new Network level protocol (from the PPP point of view), PPP Serial Data Transport Protocol, that provides encapsulation and an associated control protocol for transporting serial data streams over a PPP link.  This protocol was developed for the purpose of using PPP's many features to provide a standard method for synchronous data compression. The encapsulation uses a header structure based on that of the ITU-T Recommendation V.120</t></abstract></front>
