The PPP Internet Protocol Control Protocol
RFC 1332, “The PPP Internet Protocol Control Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 1992 by G. McGregor. It obsoletes RFC 1172. It has since been updated by RFC 3241. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method of encapsulating Network Layer protocol information over point-to-point links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
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.
