PPP1. An acronym for Point-to-Point-Protocol, an advanced serial packet protocol similar to SLIP. From KADOWKEV 2. Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon. The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard way to transmit datagrams over a serial link, as well as a standard way for the machines at either end of the link (the "peers") to negotiate various optional characteristics of the link. Using PPP, a serial link can be used to transmit Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams, allowing TCP/IP connections between the peers. This package contains pppd with PAM support built-in, so `ppp-pam' package is obsolete. From Debian 3.0r0 APT 3. The ppp package contains the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) daemon and documentation for PPP support. The PPP protocol provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links. PPP isusually used to dial in to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or other organization over a modem and phone line. From Redhat 8.0 RPM |
