Multipoint Communications Links

You can use Solaris PPP to set up a multipoint communications link. In this type of configuration, an individual machine functions as one endpoint on the communications link. At the other end of the link might be several endpoint machines. This differs from point-to-point configurations, with a single endpoint system at either side of the communications link.
