Point-To-Point-Protocol

The PPP protocol stack is an additional package for the TCP/IP protocol stacks. It includes the protocols LCP, IPCP, PAP and CHAP* and allows the communication via the serial interface. At this, the usage of a telephone modem is supported by the NicheStack PPP.

* Microsoft CHAP (MS-CHAP) available as separate module

The maximum code requirement for PPP is about 30 kByte. Individual functions can be switched on and off and thus allow the code size to be reduced.

Specific Features

• Connections: Several connections to various devices can be established and maintained simultaneously. The stack supports computer-to-computer direct connections.
• Client/Server: The stack allows the implementation of PPP-clients and PPP-servers equally and supports all standard authentication protocols.
