PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol
RFC 2284, “PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 1998 by L. Blunk, J. Vollbrecht. It has since been updated by RFC 2484. It has been obsoleted by RFC 3748 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, which allows negotiation of an Authentication Protocol for authenticating its peer before allowing Network Layer protocols to transmit over the link. This document defines the PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol. [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.
