PPP over Full Duplex Point-to-Point Ethernet Physical Layers

This document provides a definition for encapsulating the PPP protocol directly on the various full duplex point-to-point Ethernet physical layers. The later includes transmission bit rates of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, and 10Gbps. Note this is a distinct protocol from PPPoE, as the Ethernet frame is not existent here. All PPP packet semantics and syntax are retained. The proposed methods in this document may be especially useful for low cost, high bandwidth physical channel implementations. In particular it specifies and redefines all necessary Ethernet Medium Independent Interface functional 'clauses.'
