<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 NBF protocolwas originally called the NetBEUI protocol. This document defines the Network Control Protocol for establishing and configuring the NBF protocol over PPP.</t>
<t>The NBFCP protocol is only applicable for an end system to connect to a peer system or the LAN that peer system is connected to.  It is not applicable for connecting two LANs together due to NetBIOS name limitations and NetBIOS name defense mechanisms.</t></abstract></front>
