Varada}, title = {{Negotiation for IPv6 Datagram Compression Using IPv6 Control Protocol}}, pagetotal = 7, year = 2008, month = mar, abstract = {The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method of encapsulating network-layer protocol information over point-to-point links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols. The IPv6 Control Protocol (IPV6CP), which is an NCP for a PPP link, allows for the negotiation of desirable parameters for an IPv6 interface over PPP. This document defines the IPv6 datagram compression option that can be negotiated by a node on the link through the IPV6CP. {[}STANDARDS-TRACK{]}}, }
