<abstract>
<t>The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links.  PPP is composed of</t>
<t>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.</t>
<t>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)
.</t>
<t>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.</t></abstract></front>
