PPP Over Ethernet Extensions for Credit Flow and Link Metrics
RFC 4938, “PPP Over Ethernet Extensions for Credit Flow and Link Metrics”, is an Informational document published in June 2007 by B. Berry, H. Holgate. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5578 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document extends the Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) Protocol with a credit-based flow control mechanism and Link Quality Metric report. This optional extension should improve the performance of PPPoE over media with variable bandwidth and limited buffering, such as mobile radio links. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
