The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method of
encapsulating network-layer protocol information over
point-to-point links.  PPP also defines an extensible Link Control
Protocol, and proposes a family of Network Control Protocols
(NCPs) for establishing and configuring different network-layer
protocols.

The IPv6 Control Protocol (IPV6CP), which is an NCP for a PPP
link, allows for the negotiation of desirable parameters for an
IPv6 interface over PPP.

This document defines the IPv6 datagram compression option that
can be negotiated by a node on the link through the IPV6CP.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
