Abstract
This document presents five extensions to the PPP/LCP Protocol : * Assistance from a router to another router (or a host) looking for its Operating System file. * Assistance from a router to another router (or a host) looking for its configuration file. * Request from an equipment to receive Discard frame when no Data frame can be sent. When no Discard or Data frames are received the link will be brought down. This method is more efficient than using a timeout and/or a keepalive mecanism. * Interface Bandwidth and Delay measurements. These informations can be used by OSPF or any other IGP protocol.
