Description of Working Group:

     The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) was designed to encapsulate
     multiple protocols.  IP was the only network layer protocol
     defined in the original documents.  The Working Group is
     defining the use of other network level protocols and options
     for PPP. The group will define the use of protocols including:
     bridging, ISO, DECNET (Phase IV and V), XNS, and others.  In
     addition it will define new PPP options for the existing
     protocol definitions, such as stronger authentication and
     encryption methods.
