PPP over Simple Data Link using SONET/SDH with ATM-like framing

Overview

RFC 2823, “PPP over Simple Data Link using SONET/SDH with ATM-like framing”, is an Experimental document published in May 2000 by J. Carlson, P. Langner, E. Hernandez-Valencia, J. Manchester. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document extends methods found in the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and RFCs 1662 and 2615 to include a new encapsulation for PPP called Simple Data Link (SDL). SDL provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links, and RFCs 1662 and 2615 provide a means to carry PPP over Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) circuits. SDL provides a very low overhead alternative to HDLC-like encapsulation, and can also be used on SONET/SDH links. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
