Two schemes have been adopted by the Internet community to provide links over serial point-to-point lines into dial-up routers: SLIP and PPP
|
| 2 |
SLIP supports the transmission of IP datagrams encapsulated within SLIP frames;
|
| 3 |
SLIP operates over point-to-point connection; simpler than PPP
|
| 4 |
suitable for stationary systems that only transmit IP;
|
| 5 |
supports asynchronous and synchronous transfers over dedicated or dialup lines;
|
| 6 |
datagram size: 1006 bytes; no error detection/correction; compression is not supported
