Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "PPP Design and Debugging offers network administrators, technicians, and programmers the perfect introduction and detailed guide to working with PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), now the most widely used Internet connection technology. An excellent companion to the official standards documents, this comprehensive book covers PPP in depth, from the bits and bytes transmitted up through its connections to other networking software. It shows how to keep PPP running smoothly and efficiently, and offers the most detailed information available on debugging PPP and maintaining uninterrupted network connections." "This convenient volume follows PPP through its three main functions: connecting, authenticating, and sending data to the network. It provides an overview of PPP design and operationincluding link-level transmission and reception of data - as well as a look at how PPP works with other networking protocols. Each PPP protocol is described in depth, including: LCP (Link Control Protocol); the network layer protocols that communicate with IP, AppleTalk, SNA, OSI, and others; CCP (Compression Control Protocol) and ECP (Encryption Control Protocol). In addition, the increasingly important topic of bandwidth management is discussed." "You will find thorough coverage of PPP debugging techniques that show you how to isolate and solve connection problems. In particular, this book examines a topic of critical concern: how to get packet traces out of common PPP implementations."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
