Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a widely used data link layer network protocol for establishing a direct connection over an asynchronous serial link. It's commonly employed in dial-up networking, remote access servers, and Internet service providers (ISPs) for dial-up access to the Internet. PPP encapsulates higher-layer protocols such as IP, IPX, and AppleTalk over serial links.
Understanding PPP
PPP operates at the data link layer of the OSI model, above the physical layer and below the network layer. It provides reliable full-duplex communication over noisy and unreliable serial links by incorporating error detection and correction mechanisms. PPP establishes, configures, and maintains a data link connection between two endpoints, allowing multiple network layer protocols to be transported simultaneously.
Benefits of Using PPP
PPP offers several advantages:
