It is the otherway around: TCP and UDP are on top of IP, IP is send
through PPP, PPP is setup and controlled by IPCP and is transmitted
through HDLC-like framing for serial lines.
the 802.3 layer is the transport protocol for IP/IPX over ethernet,
not serial lines.
So, there is nothing between IP and PPP!
