<protocol> A protocol used to automatically agree upon
encapsulation format options, handle varying packet size
limits, authenticate the identity of its peer on the link,
determine when a link is functioning properly and when it is
defunct, detect a looped-back link and other common
misconfiguration errors, and terminate the link.
[RFC 1570].
