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
1
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.
