-
- Testing Document Subgroup
-
- Two issues: what to test and how to test it. Fred Baker suggested
- making PT-500 tests available for the purposes; available tests are for
- synchronous implementations. PPP Consortium could make available to
- vendors, to make implementations more reliable.
-
- The PPPEXT Working Group and the IPLPDN Working Group met together to
- discuss using the PPP negotiation mechanisms on PDNs using Frame Relay.
-
- Frame Relay/PPP Parameter Negotiation
-
-
- o Active PPP Open
- The idea here is that an older Frame Relay system can talk to a
- newer one by the newer one detecting the other and switching to the
-

-
- old mechanism.
-
- o Agglutination of PPP negotiation parameters (Multiple Option
- Negotiation)
- Some sort of LCP option saying ``I want to do <protocol list > in
- the default manner''. Breaks authentication; NCPs happen after
- authentication completes. Solution: an LCP configure could be
- sent as a single datagram carrying a succession of messages.
-
- o Agglutination of PPP negotiation parameters (Multiple Option
- o OUI Acquisition
- Need the necessary OUI for PPP message identification.
-
- o Agglutination of PPP negotiation parameters (Multiple Option
- o OUI/PID values for PPP
- PID should be PPP Protocol Identifier.
-
- o Agglutination of PPP negotiation parameters (Multiple Option
-
- o Multi-link Transport
- Layered implementation suggested.
