Title : PPP over Full Duplex Point-to-Point Ethernet Physical
Layers
Author(s) : E. McCoy, J. Sauer
Filename : draft-mccoy-pppext-pppoephy-00.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 21-Feb-02
This document provides a definition for encapsulating the PPP
protocol directly on the various full duplex point-to-point Ethernet
physical layers. The later includes transmission bit rates of
10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, and 10Gbps. Note this is a distinct protocol
from PPPoE, as the Ethernet frame is not existent here. All PPP
packet semantics and syntax are retained. The proposed methods in
this document may be especially useful for low cost, high bandwidth
physical channel implementations. In particular it specifies and
redefines all necessary Ethernet Medium Independent Interface
functional 'clauses.'

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
