PPP Trace Examples

The following examples show how ppptrace can be used to detect and diagnose problems with a PPP link.

Trace Example 1--Successful Link Establishment

The following example trace shows an exchange of LPC and IPNCP packets that results in a PPP link established successfully between two hosts:
