  2. Serial Line Internet Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Line_Internet_Protocol

    The Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) [1][2] is an encapsulation of the Internet Protocol [a] designed to work over serial ports and router connections. It is documented in RFC 1055. On personal computers, SLIP has largely been replaced by the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), which is better engineered, has more features, and does not require ...

  3. Point-to-Point Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol

    PPP was made to work with numerous network-layer protocols, including Internet Protocol (IP), TRILL, Novell's Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), NBF, DECnet and AppleTalk. Like SLIP, this is a full Internet connection over telephone lines via modem. It is more reliable than SLIP because it double checks to ensure Internet packets arrive intact ...

  4. Slirp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slirp

    Slirp (sometimes capitalized SLiRP) is a software program that emulates a PPP, SLIP, or CSLIP connection to the Internet using a text-based shell account.Its original purpose became largely obsolete as dedicated dial-up PPP connections and broadband Internet access became widely available and inexpensive.

  5. Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol...

    Ethernet. The Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a network protocol for encapsulating Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. It appeared in 1999, in the context of the boom of DSL as the solution for tunneling packets over the DSL connection to the ISP 's IP network, and from there to the rest of the Internet.

  6. Internet access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_access

    The introduction of network access servers supporting the Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) and later the point-to-point protocol (PPP) extended the Internet protocols and made the full range of Internet services available to dial-up users; although slower, due to the lower data rates available using dial-up.

    The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a reference model from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that "provides a common basis for the coordination of standards development for the purpose of systems interconnection." [2] In the OSI reference model, the communications between systems are split into seven different ...

  9. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Tunneling...

    v. t. e. The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is an obsolete method for implementing virtual private networks. PPTP has many well known security issues. PPTP uses a TCP control channel and a Generic Routing Encapsulation tunnel to encapsulate PPP packets. Many modern VPNs use various forms of UDP for this same functionality.
