Synopsis
PPP Design, Implementation, and Debugging, Second Edition is a complete and convenient resource for network system designers and administrators. This book contains everything you need to know to work with the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), one of the most important Internet protocols in use today. Inside you'll find clear explanations of the underlying concepts, practical implementation information, and valuable debugging techniques to keep your PPP connections running smoothly, efficiently, and without interruption. Extensively revised and expanded to cover the latest developments in PPP and network technology, this Second Edition addresses such current topics as: * PPP in today's telecommunications infrastructure * PPP and telephony * Optical (SONET/SDH) PPP links * The relationship between PPP and routing protocols (such as OSPF) * Security services, including RADIUS * PPP and L2TP virtual private networks * The design of the popular ANU ppp-2.3 implementation PPP Design, Implementation, and Debugging, Second Edition provides an overview of PPP design and operation, and follows PPP in detail through each of its three main stages--link establishment, authentication, and data transmission. Each PPP protocol is described in depth, including LCP (Link Control Protocol), CCP (Compression Control Protocol), and ECP (Encryption Control Protocol). PPP's relationship to other networking protocols is also examined. In addition, this book offers an experience-based troubleshooting guide that describes proven solutions to common PPP problems. The accompanying CD-ROM contains samples of PPP implementations and many useful reference documents.

- PPP and telephony
- Optical (SONET/SDH) PPP links
- The relationship between PPP and routing protocols (such as OSPF)

- The design of the popular ANU ppp-2.3 implementation
In addition, this book offers an experience-based troubleshooting guide that describes proven solutions to common PPP problems.
From the Inside Flap
When I say writing, O, believe me, it is rewriting that I have chiefly
in mind.
--Robert Louis Stevenson
Since the first edition of PPP Design and Debugging went to press a
little over two years ago, PPP itself has matured greatly. Just two years ago
it was common to see proposals for additions to PPP on the IETF mailing lists
and rare to find designers with direct experience in the protocol itself. Now
the situation is reversed. The working group is now focusing on advancing the
existing extensions through the standards process rather than creating new extensions,
and many people are now familiar with the protocol.
In the past two years, I have collected hundreds of notes on various implementation
particulars, new developments, and other issues. These update nearly every page
of this book. Also in this edition I have expanded the information about PPP's
links to the outside world, including details on various physical layer technologies
such as SONET/SDH, security services such as RADIUS, and other protocols such
as L2TP. I also describe in detail one particular implementation--Paul Mackerras'
freely available ppp-2.3.
