Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a method for exchanging data packets between two computers. PPP can carry different network layer protocols over the same link. When the PPP connection sequence is successfully completed, the remote client and RAS server can begin to transfer data using any supported protocol, such as Windows Sockets, RPC, or NetBIOS. WinSock (Windows Sockets) is an protocol that provides an interface to Windows networking protocols.
PPP Multilink provides the ability to aggregate two or more physical connections to form one larger logical connection, improving bandwidth and throughput for remote connections. PPP Multilink Protocol (MP) is supported under NT 4.0 and RAS and Windows 2000. PPP MP provides up to 128 kilobytes per second (kb/s) on a single BRI ISDN line by combining two B-channel calls. Each B-channel provides a 64 kb/s link. To attempt to use speeds greater than 64kb/s, you can modify the phone book entry by editing the entry, choosing the ISDN button, and entering 2 in the Channels to Use category.
