<abstract>
<t>
   The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)  provides a standard method for
   transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links.
</t>
<t>
   PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, which allows
   negotiation of an Authentication Protocol for authenticating its peer
   before allowing Network Layer protocols to transmit over the link.
</t>
<t>
   This document defines the PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol.
