Description:
Protocol suite: PPP.
Type: PPP Network Control Protocol.
PPP Protocol: 0x8031.
A Network Control Protocol (NCP) used for establishing and configuring
Remote Bridging protocol over PPP links.
RFC 1638, pages 1, 2, 9 and 10:
This document defines the Network Control Protocol for establishing and
configuring Remote Bridging for PPP links.
Two basic algorithms are ambient in the industry for Bridging of Local Area
Networks. The more common algorithm is called "Transparent Bridging", and
has been standardized for Extended LAN configurations by IEEE 802.1. The
other is called "Source Route Bridging", and is prevalent on IEEE 802.5
Token Ring LANs.
The IEEE has combined these two methods into a device called a Source
Routing Transparent (SRT) bridge, which concurrently provides both Source
Route and Transparent bridging.
The Bridging Control Protocol (BCP) is responsible for configuring, enabling
and disabling the bridge protocol modules on both ends of the point-to-point
link. BCP uses the same packet exchange mechanism as the Link Control
Protocol. BCP packets may not be exchanged until PPP has reached the
Network-Layer Protocol phase. BCP packets received before this phase is
reached SHOULD be silently discarded.
Before any Bridged LAN Traffic or BPDUs may be communicated, PPP MUST reach
the Network-Layer Protocol phase, and the Bridging Control Protocol MUST
reach the Opened state.
hmmm long spiel maybe bridging is not set on the other end ?
