The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) defines a Link Control Protocol
(LCP) and a method for negotiating the use of multi-protocol traffic
over point-to-point links.  The PPP Vendor Extensions document adds
vendor-specific general-purpose Configuration Option and Code
numbers.  This document extends these features to cover
vendor-specific Network, Authentication, and Control Protocols. 

This document is a product of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions
Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
