Point-to-Point Protocol Bridging Control Protocol
RFC 3518, “Point-to-Point Protocol Bridging Control Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2003 by M. Higashiyama, F. Baker, T. Liao. It obsoletes RFC 2878. 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 defines an extensible Link Control Protocol (LCP) and proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCP) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols. This document defines the NCP for establishing and configuring Remote Bridging for PPP links. This document obsoletes RFC 2878, which was based on the IEEE 802.1D- 1993 MAC Bridge. This document extends that specification by improving support for bridge control packets. [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.
