• Link-level error detection (16 or 32 bit FCS)
• Asynchronous control character mapping
• Packet size negotiation at connection time
• Physical link loopback detection
• IP address negotiation and assignment
• PPP Addr/Ctl field and Protocol field compression
• Link-level authentication by PAP or CHAP
• Link status monitoring by LQM,
• The popular Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), as described in RFC 1055,
• automatically detects whether other end does TCP header compression (CSLIP, RFC 1144)

Optimal Performance:

• `VJ' TCP packet header compression as described in RFC 1144
• TCP `fast queue' for priority transmission of interactive packets
• STREAMS tty module reduces context switches by factor of up to 1500
• PPP CCP link-level compression with Predictor-1
• Asynchronous speeds as high as UNIX provides, usually 38400
• Synchronous speeds to 64Kb/sec over SPARCstation native serial ports
• Synchronous speeds to T1 (1.544 Mb/sec) or CEPT (2.048 Mb/sec) using our SnapLink(tm) SCSI-attached high speed synchronous serial interface

Ease of Management:

• Easy and extremely flexible configuration
• Transparent on-demand link establishment and idle line disconnection
• Flexible `chat script' for connection management
• Adjusts to other end's parity
• Flexible daemon implementation
• Operates as either the remote (calling) or hub (answering) site
• Uses most asynchronous modems or dedicated lines, over the workstation's native serial ports or most aftermarket expansions
• Shares modems with interactive users, and other applications like UUCP
• PPP configuration/negotiation problems reported in English
• NIT support on SunOS (etherfind, tcpdump, etc.)
• Monitors link status, reliability, and performance
• Multiple line failover for redundancy and high availability
• Many features are provided to help work around deficiencies in other PPPs
• Thorough, readable documentation includes examples and troubleshooting tips

Powerful Security Features:

• Link-level peer authentication by PAP or CHAP, and periodic re-authentication
• Packet filtering and logging by protocol, source, destination, source routing, etc.
• Tunnels hidden network via TCP over existing internet
• Encrypts traffic between known-secure networks
• Negotiates through security barriers like SecureID
• Returns appropriate ICMP Destination Unreachable codes
• Works with dialback modems

Standards Support:

• The Internet standard Point to Point Protocol (PPP) as defined in RFCs 1661, 1662, 1332, 1333, and 1334
