	Point-to-Point Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, the Point-to-Point Protocol, or PPP, is commonly used to establish a direct connection between two nodes.
		PPP is commonly used to act as a layer 2 (the "Data Link" layer of the OSI model) protocol for connection over synchronous and asynchronous circuits.
		PPP was designed to work with several network layer protocols, such as IP, IPX and AppleTalk, and as a replacement for the non-standard layer 2 protocol SLIP.

	PPP - a Whatis.com definition - see also: Point-to-Point Protocol
		PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a protocol for communication between two computers using a serial interface, typically a personal computer connected by phone line to a server.
		PPP is a full-duplex protocol that can be used on various physical media, including twisted pair or fiber optic lines or satellite transmission.
		PPP is usually preferred over the earlier de facto standard Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) because it can handle synchronous as well as asynchronous communication.

	PPP, Point-to-Point Protocol
		A collection of protocols designed for moving datagrams across serial point-to-point links.
		All valid protocols have the least significant bit of the least significant byte set to 1 and the least significant bit of the most significant byte is cleared to 0.
		These protocols are used to establish and configure the communications link, the network layer protocols and also to encapsulate datagrams.

	Point-to-point tunneling protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The failure of PPTP as a VPN protocol is caused by cryptographic design errors in the Cisco LEAP and Microsoft MSCHAP-v2 handshake protocols, and by key length limitations in MPPE.
		The PPTP protocol works by sending a regular PPP session to the peer with the Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) protocol.
		PPTP is popular because it is easy to configure and it was the first VPN protocol that was supported by Microsoft Dial-up Networking.

	IEEE 802.11
		With high-gain external antennas, the protocol can also be used in fixed point-to-point arrangements, typically at ranges up to 8 kilometres (although some report success at ranges up to 80-120 km where line of sight can be established).
		Extensions have been made to the 802.11b protocol (eg, channel bonding and burst transmission techniques) in order to increase speed to 22, 33, and 44 Mbit/s, but the extensions are proprietary and have not been endorsed by the IEEE.
		Access point equipment which can support all these standards simultaneously is also available.

		They're interesting only if you want to debug a connection with an ancient PPP implementation, and you're wondering why (e.g.) it asked you for IPCP option 2 with a length of only 4, and Compression-Type 0x0037.
		Bring up a PPP interface and dial the phone when packets are queued for delivery; bring the interface down after some period of inactivity.

	The Point-to-Point Protocol
		PPP achieves this by adding a protocol field to the basic HDLC frame that identifies the type of packet carried by the frame.
		First, it can carry a large number of protocols and is thus not limited to the IP protocol.
		For each of these capabilities, PPP has a separate protocol.

	PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) (Linktionary term)
		PPP is defined in RFC 1661 (The Point-to-Point Protocol, July 1994).
		RFC 1547 (Requirements for an Internet Standard Point-to-Point Protocol, December 1993) provides historical information about the need for PPP and its development.

		Because many ISPs are expected to upgrade their points of presence to support PPTP, you may soon be able to take advantage of PPTP through your ISP without having to change any setup in your client PC.
		By tunneling PPP, we also enable the corporate LAN administrators to expediently add/remove network access for their employees without incurring delays if this access was managed centrally by the ISP.

	Intel® Express 9500 Series Routers - Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
		PPP is a standardized data connection level encapsulation protocol for communicating over leased lines, ISDN connections, dial-up modem connections, and Internet Tunnels.
		PPP verifies, to some extent, that the PPP configurations in the two routers over the connection are consistent.
		When the home connection needs to communicate with the office, they call in to the office router which then calls them back.

	MPPE, Microsoft Point-To-Point Encryption Protocol
		The Microsoft Point to Point Encryption scheme is a means of representing PPP packets in an encrypted form.
		When MPPE is successfully negotiated by the PPP Compression Control Protocol, the value of this field is 0x00FD.
		For example, if a packet contained the protocol type 0x002D (for a compressed TCP/IP header), the MPPE processor would first encrypt 0x002D and then it would encrypt the compressed Van-Jacobsen TCP/IP header.

	IEEE 802.11f - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		802.11f specifies a protocol between access points also known as the Inter-Access Point Protocol ( IAPP).
		The base 802.11 standard does not specify subscriber mobility or roaming from one access point to another.
		It handles the registration of APs within a network and the exchange of information when a user is roaming among coverage areas supported by different vendors' access points.

	CITES Glossary
		Within that domain are distinct hostnames (such as argus.cites.uiuc.edu) that point to individual computers on the campus network.
		The protocol used determines the way errors are checked, the type of compression, the way the sender indicates the end of the transmission, and the way the receiver indicates that the message has been received.
		Protocols can describe low-level details of machine-to-machine interfaces (e.g., the order in which bits and bytes are sent across a wire) or high-level exchanges between allocation programs (e.g., the way in which two programs transfer a file across the Internet).

		This is accomplished by passing an authentication key to the client and to the wireless access point as part of the authentication procedure.
		Port-based network access control utilizes the physical characteristics of the switched LAN infrastructure to provide a means of authenticating devices attached to a LAN port, and for preventing access to that port in cases where the authentication process fails.
		Limited network access, where the client has limited access to network resources, for example, client transmissions may be redirected to a different logical or physical network.

	Summit Wireless: WEP Wifi Security Standard vs. Bluesocket
		This prompts the access point to issue a WEP key to the mobile device that is valid only for that particular user, and to accept other types of traffic to and from the mobile device via a "controlled port".
		Most access point vendors implemented their own proprietary IAPPs with the result that today seamless roaming between access points from different vendors is generally not possible.
		Once access points support 802.11e there will still be a need for intermediate gateways, to provide end to end packet shaping.

	Atmel Announces 'Tap-Dance' - A Fast, Reliable Seamless Handover Protocol for WLAN Terminal Devices
		Unlike other protocols that address L3 handovers, Tap-Dance's latency (time to reconnect and restore the original IP connection) is as low as 20 msec to 50 msec on average (under real traffic conditions), which is many times faster than other competing protocols.
		Tap-Dance extends the capabilities of the 802.11f IAPP that is used for Layer 2 (L2) mobility management of STAs when roaming between Access Points (APs) inside their Home IP Network (HN).
		Thus it requires no manual set-up, no reconfiguration or software upgrades to the STA, and no specific networking devices, that increase the network architecture cost, to control roaming.
