- The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method of
- encapsulating Network Layer protocol information over point-to-point
- links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, which
- allows negotiation of an Authentication Protocol for authenticating
- its peer before allowing Network Layer protocols to transmit over the
- link.
-
- This document defines two protocols for Authentication: the Password
- Authentication Protocol and the Challenge-Handshake Authentication
- Protocol. This memo is the product of the Point-to-Point Protocol
- Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
-
- This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
-
- This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
- community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
- Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
- Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
- Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
