PPP Frame Structure Guide

PPP uses a byte-oriented frame format similar to HDLC to encapsulate packets of data or configuration information. The frame contains fields for flags, addresses, control, protocol, data, and a frame check sequence for error detection. The protocol field was added to PPP frames to identify the encapsulated network-layer protocol.

Frame Format


PPP is a byte - oriented protocol where each field of the frame is composed of one or more

bytes


Format is required to encapsulate packets of information or data that simply includes either

configuration information or data.


Uses same format as HDLC


Contains one additional filed , i.e Protocol Field , present after control field and before

information or data field.


Fields of Frame
1) Flag Field-PPP begins and ends with flag. Value = 1 byte

2) Address Field – Broadcast address. All 1’s simply indicates that


all of the stations are ready to accept frame. Value – 1 byte .PPP
doesnt provide individual station addresses.
3)
4) Control Field – Uses format of U-Frame. Value = 1 byte ,ie,
00000011 binary value. 1 byte is used for connection-less data
link.

5) Data Field – Contains upper layer datagram.N/W layer datagram is


encapsulated in this field. Length varies.

6) FCS Field – Contains checksum for identification of errors.16/32


bits size. alculated over address, control, protocol etc. Characters are
added for control and handling of errors.
