	Title		: PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE) Extensions for Credit Flow and Link Metrics
	Author(s)	: B. Berry, H. Holgate

The Point-to-Point Over Ethernet (PPPoE) Protocol [3] provides a 
standard method for encapsulating Point-to-Point Protocols (PPP) [1] 
over Ethernet.  
         
This document extends the PPPoE protocol with a credit based flow 
control mechanism and Link Quality Metric report.  The PPPoE 
specification is also extended to allow TLV Tags in the PPP Session 
Stage.  These extensions are optional to retain backwards 
compatibility and at the same time provide for future extendibility.

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.
