Technical Summary

   Multiple higher-level protocols may operate over PPP links. For a
   protocol to be carried over a PPP link, a control protocol is
   required. This control protocol is used to negotiate the operations
   of that protocol. The PPP SNA Control Protocol is used to configure
   and control PPP links to carry SNA traffic.

   was without rancor.
