ppp(4)
NAME
ppp - point to point protocol network interface
SYNOPSIS
device ppp
DESCRIPTION
- The ppp interface allows serial lines to be used as network
- interfaces using the point-to-point protocol. The ppp interface can
- use various types of compression and has many features over the sl(4)
- protocol.
- Each ppp interface is created at runtime using interface
- cloning. This is most easily done with the ifconfig(8) create command or
- using the cloned_interfaces variable in rc.conf(5).
DIAGNOSTICS
- ppp%d: af%d not supported. The interface was handed a mes
- sage with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the
- packet was dropped.

BUGS
- Currently, only the ip(4) protocol is supported.
