....interface to those above it, and the simplicity of the network layer. At the lowest level of the stack are the link layer protocols employed by various networking devices like Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Ethernet (defined by IEEE standard 802.3 [47] the Point to Point Protocol (PPP) [117], and many others. The link layer enables point to point communication between network interfaces connected to the same physical medium. The network layer abstracts away the vagaries of actual network topology and routes packets between any two end points regardless of whether or not they are both ....

....the code also provides a measure of protection against link losses. Finally, our results indicate that automatically generated header compression provides similar performance to hand optimized solutions. We demonstrate our system in a prototype implementation in the Point to Point Protocol (PPP) [31, 13] stack (version 2.3.5) of the Linux 2.0.36 operating system using the Redhat 5.2 distribution. The tools can be ported to accommodate other implementation platforms from the same protocol description. Even when a platform has not been targeted, the extended and unextended versions of the drivers ....
....in PPP is tagged with a specific packet type. This allows the receiver to give incoming packets to the correct processing code IP, AppleTalk, and VJ TCP compressed packets can be demultiplexed to the proper receiving routines. These packet tags, standardized by the IETF, are 16 bit quantities [31], yet only a small number of them 5 are used in practice. It is foreseeable that the IETF could allocate an experimental region for these tags. In any case, we allocate two packet tags for every new header compressor. This includes a tag to identify Compressed packets and a tag to identify ....
SIMPSON, W. The Point-to-Point Protocol. Internet Engineering Task Force, July 1994. RFC-1661.
....If the link level framing protocol uses a strong checksum, this will never happen because frames with bit errors will be discarded before reaching the decompressor. However, some framing protocols, for example SLIP [91] lack strong checksums. PPP[93] has a strong checksum if HDLC like framing [94] is used, but that is not required. Low Loss Header Compression for Wireless Networks 93 IPv6 must not be operated over links that can deliver a significant fraction of corrupted packets. This means that when IPv6 is run over a lossy wireless link the link layer must have a strong checksum or ....
