Abstract
This memo specifies the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Initial Configuration Options as a Proposed Standard Protocol for the Internet community. When it becomes a full Standard, this protocol will be recommended for all TCP/IP implementations that communicate over serial links.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
