# PPP List

Some security devices provide a standard method for transporting packets over point-to-point links; PPP encapsulation is defined in RFC 1661, The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). PPP links provide full-duplex, simultaneous, bidirectional operation and are a common solution for easy connection of a wide variety of hosts, bridges, and routers.
