Standards Conformance

PPP, and the routing functions in the Solaris software, use industry-standard conventions for performing their tasks. These conventions support:

• Forwarding of IP datagrams

• Reception of packets for forwarding from any IP-compatible networked system

• Delivery of packets to any IP-compatible networked system on local-area network media, such as Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI

• Use of standard routing protocols, enabling users to exchange packets with equipment that supports the PPP protocol from many manufacturers
