- PPP allows to negotiate a lot of options, depending on the respective
- implementations and configuration.

- - Protocol-Field-Compression ("PFC", RFC1661)
- - Address-and-Control-Field-Compression ("ACFC", RFC1661)

- - Van Jacobson TCP/IP header compression (RFC1144, RFC1332)
-
- - Reliable Transmission (RFC1663), mutually exclusive with ACFC, allows
- the use of a compression scheme. This is still in the draft stage, and
- development has been hampered by the "encumbered" status of nearly all
- compression algorithms. Several algorithms have been proposed, can be
- negotiated and are in use with various implementations.
