Variance for The PPP Compression Control Protocol and The PPP Encryption Control Protocol
RFC 1915, “Variance for The PPP Compression Control Protocol and The PPP Encryption Control Protocol”, is a Best Current Practice document published in February 1996 by F. Kastenholz. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The PPP Working group has developed two protocols, one to control compression on PPP links; the Compression Control Protocol (CCP), documented in draft-ietf-pppext-compression-04.txt. The second is the Encryption Control Protocol (ECP), used to control encryption on serial links, documented in draft-ietf-pppext-encryption-03.txt. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
