Introduction   This specification provides for framing over both bit-oriented and   octet-oriented synchronous links, and asynchronous links with 8 bits   of data and no parity.  These links MUST be full-duplex, but MAY be   either dedicated or circuit-switched.   An escape mechanism is specified to allow control data such as   XON/XOFF to be transmitted transparently over the link, and to remove   spurious control data which may be injected into the link by   intervening hardware and software.   Some protocols expect error free transmission, and either provide   error detection only on a conditional basis, or do not provide it at   all.  PPP uses the HDLC Frame Check Sequence for error detection.   This is commonly available in hardware implementations, and a   software implementation is provided.Simpson                                                         [Page 1]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 19941.1.  Specification of Requirements   In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements   of the specification.  These words are often capitalized.   MUST      This word, or the adjective "required", means that the             definition is an absolute requirement of the specification.   MUST NOT  This phrase means that the definition is an absolute             prohibition of the specification.   SHOULD    This word, or the adjective "recommended", means that there             may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to             ignore this item, but the full implications must be             understood and carefully weighed before choosing a             different course.   MAY       This word, or the adjective "optional", means that this             item is one of an allowed set of alternatives.  An             implementation which does not include this option MUST be             prepared to interoperate with another implementation which             does include the option.1.2.  Terminology   This document frequently uses the following terms:   datagram  The unit of transmission in the network layer (such as IP).             A datagram may be encapsulated in one or more packets             passed to the data link layer.   frame     The unit of transmission at the data link layer.  A frame             may include a header and/or a trailer, along with some             number of units of data.   packet    The basic unit of encapsulation, which is passed across the             interface between the network layer and the data link             layer.  A packet is usually mapped to a frame; the             exceptions are when data link layer fragmentation is being             performed, or when multiple packets are incorporated into a             single frame.   peer      The other end of the point-to-point link.   silently discard             The implementation discards the packet without further             processing.  The implementation SHOULD provide the             capability of logging the error, including the contents of             the silently discarded packet, and SHOULD record the event             in a statistics counter.Simpson                                                         [Page 2]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 19942.  Physical Layer Requirements   PPP is capable of operating across most DTE/DCE interfaces (such as,   EIA RS-232-E, EIA RS-422, and CCITT V.35).  The only absolute   requirement imposed by PPP is the provision of a full-duplex circuit,   either dedicated or circuit-switched, which can operate in either an   asynchronous (start/stop), bit-synchronous, or octet-synchronous   mode, transparent to PPP Data Link Layer frames.   Interface Format      PPP presents an octet interface to the physical layer.  There is      no provision for sub-octets to be supplied or accepted.   Transmission Rate      PPP does not impose any restrictions regarding transmission rate,      other than that of the particular DTE/DCE interface.   Control Signals      PPP does not require the use of control signals, such as Request      To Send (RTS), Clear To Send (CTS), Data Carrier Detect (DCD), and      Data Terminal Ready (DTR).      When available, using such signals can allow greater functionality      and performance.  In particular, such signals SHOULD be used to      signal the Up and Down events in the LCP Option Negotiation      Automaton [1].  When such signals are not available, the      implementation MUST signal the Up event to LCP upon      initialization, and SHOULD NOT signal the Down event.      Because signalling is not required, the physical layer MAY be      decoupled from the data link layer, hiding the transient details      of the physical transport.  This has implications for mobility in      cellular radio networks, and other rapidly switching links.      When moving from cell to cell within the same zone, an      implementation MAY choose to treat the entire zone as a single      link, even though transmission is switched among several      frequencies.  The link is considered to be with the central      control unit for the zone, rather than the individual cell      transceivers.  However, the link SHOULD re-establish its      configuration whenever the link is switched to a different      administration.      Due to the bursty nature of data traffic, some implementations      have choosen to disconnect the physical layer during periods ofSimpson                                                         [Page 3]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 1994      inactivity, and reconnect when traffic resumes, without informing      the data link layer.  Robust implementations should avoid using      this trick over-zealously, since the price for decreased setup      latency is decreased security.  Implementations SHOULD signal the      Down event whenever "significant time" has elapsed since the link      was disconnected.  The value for "significant time" is a matter of      considerable debate, and is based on the tariffs, call setup      times, and security concerns of the installation.3.  The Data Link Layer   PPP uses the principles described in ISO 3309-1979 HDLC frame   structure, most recently the fourth edition 3309:1991 [2], which   specifies modifications to allow HDLC use in asynchronous   environments.   The PPP control procedures use the Control field encodings described   in ISO 4335-1979 HDLC elements of procedures, most recently the   fourth edition 4335:1991 [4].      This should not be construed to indicate that every feature of the      above recommendations are included in PPP.  Each feature included      is explicitly described in the following sections.   To remain consistent with standard Internet practice, and avoid   confusion for people used to reading RFCs, all binary numbers in the   following descriptions are in Most Significant Bit to Least   Significant Bit order, reading from left to right, unless otherwise   indicated.  Note that this is contrary to standard ISO and CCITT   practice which orders bits as transmitted (network bit order).  Keep   this in mind when comparing this document with the international   standards documents.Simpson                                                         [Page 4]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 19943.1.  Frame Format   A summary of the PPP HDLC-like frame structure is shown below.  This   figure does not include bits inserted for synchronization (such as   start and stop bits for asynchronous links), nor any bits or octets   inserted for transparency.  The fields are transmitted from left to   right.           +----------+----------+----------+           |   Flag   | Address  | Control  |           | 01111110 | 11111111 | 00000011 |           +----------+----------+----------+           +----------+-------------+---------+           | Protocol | Information | Padding |           | 8/16 bits|      *      |    *    |           +----------+-------------+---------+           +----------+----------+-----------------           |   FCS    |   Flag   | Inter-frame Fill           |16/32 bits| 01111110 | or next Address           +----------+----------+-----------------   The Protocol, Information and Padding fields are described in the   Point-to-Point Protocol Encapsulation [1].   Flag Sequence      Each frame begins and ends with a Flag Sequence, which is the      binary sequence 01111110 (hexadecimal 0x7e).  All implementations      continuously check for this flag, which is used for frame      synchronization.      Only one Flag Sequence is required between two frames.  Two      consecutive Flag Sequences constitute an empty frame, which is      silently discarded, and not counted as a FCS error.   Address Field      The Address field is a single octet, which contains the binary      sequence 11111111 (hexadecimal 0xff), the All-Stations address.      Individual station addresses are not assigned.  The All-Stations      address MUST always be recognized and received.      The use of other address lengths and values may be defined at a      later time, or by prior agreement.  Frames with unrecognized      Addresses SHOULD be silently discarded.Simpson                                                         [Page 5]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 1994   Control Field      The Control field is a single octet, which contains the binary      sequence 00000011 (hexadecimal 0x03), the Unnumbered Information      (UI) command with the Poll/Final (P/F) bit set to zero.      The use of other Control field values may be defined at a later      time, or by prior agreement.  Frames with unrecognized Control      field values SHOULD be silently discarded.   Frame Check Sequence (FCS) Field      The Frame Check Sequence field defaults to 16 bits (two octets).      The FCS is transmitted least significant octet first, which      contains the coefficient of the highest term.      A 32-bit (four octet) FCS is also defined.  Its use may be      negotiated as described in "PPP LCP Extensions" [5].      The use of other FCS lengths may be defined at a later time, or by      prior agreement.      The FCS field is calculated over all bits of the Address, Control,      Protocol, Information and Padding fields, not including any start      and stop bits (asynchronous) nor any bits (synchronous) or octets      (asynchronous or synchronous) inserted for transparency.  This      also does not include the Flag Sequences nor the FCS field itself.         When octets are received which are flagged in the Async-         Control-Character-Map, they are discarded before calculating         the FCS.      For more information on the specification of the FCS, see the      Appendices.   The end of the Information and Padding fields is found by locating   the closing Flag Sequence and removing the Frame Check Sequence   field.Simpson                                                         [Page 6]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 19943.2.  Modification of the Basic Frame   The Link Control Protocol can negotiate modifications to the standard   HDLC-like frame structure.  However, modified frames will always be   clearly distinguishable from standard frames.   Address-and-Control-Field-Compression      When using the standard HDLC-like framing, the Address and Control      fields contain the hexadecimal values 0xff and 0x03 respectively.      When other Address or Control field values are in use, Address-      and-Control-Field-Compression MUST NOT be negotiated.      On transmission, compressed Address and Control fields are simply      omitted.      On reception, the Address and Control fields are decompressed by      examining the first two octets.  If they contain the values 0xff      and 0x03, they are assumed to be the Address and Control fields.      If not, it is assumed that the fields were compressed and were not      transmitted.         By definition, the first octet of a two octet Protocol field         will never be 0xff (since it is not even).  The Protocol field         value 0x00ff is not allowed (reserved) to avoid ambiguity when         Protocol-Field-Compression is enabled and the first Information         field octet is 0x03.Simpson                                                         [Page 7]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 19944.  Octet-stuffed framing   This chapter summarizes the use of HDLC-like framing with 8-bit   asynchronous and octet-synchronous links.4.1.  Flag Sequence   The Flag Sequence indicates the beginning or end of a frame.  The   octet stream is examined on an octet-by-octet basis for the value   01111110 (hexadecimal 0x7e).4.2.  Transparency   An octet stuffing procedure is used.  The Control Escape octet is   defined as binary 01111101 (hexadecimal 0x7d), most significant bit   first.   As a minimum, sending implementations MUST escape the Flag Sequence   and Control Escape octets.   After FCS computation, the transmitter examines the entire frame   between the two Flag Sequences.  Each Flag Sequence, Control Escape   octet, and any octet which is flagged in the sending Async-Control-   Character-Map (ACCM), is replaced by a two octet sequence consisting   of the Control Escape octet followed by the original octet   exclusive-or'd with hexadecimal 0x20.      This is bit 5 complemented, where the bit positions are numbered      76543210 (the 6th bit as used in ISO numbered 87654321 -- BEWARE      when comparing documents).   Receiving implementations MUST correctly process all Control Escape   sequences.   On reception, prior to FCS computation, each octet with value less   than hexadecimal 0x20 is checked.  If it is flagged in the receiving   ACCM, it is simply removed (it may have been inserted by intervening   data communications equipment).  Each Control Escape octet is also   removed, and the following octet is exclusive-or'd with hexadecimal   0x20, unless it is the Flag Sequence (which aborts a frame).   A few examples may make this more clear.  Escaped data is transmitted   on the link as follows:Simpson                                                         [Page 8]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 1994      0x7e is encoded as 0x7d, 0x5e.    (Flag Sequence)      0x7d is encoded as 0x7d, 0x5d.    (Control Escape)      0x03 is encoded as 0x7d, 0x23.    (ETX)   Some modems with software flow control may intercept outgoing DC1 and   DC3 ignoring the 8th (parity) bit.  This data would be transmitted on   the link as follows:      0x11 is encoded as 0x7d, 0x31.    (XON)      0x13 is encoded as 0x7d, 0x33.    (XOFF)      0x91 is encoded as 0x7d, 0xb1.    (XON with parity set)      0x93 is encoded as 0x7d, 0xb3.    (XOFF with parity set)4.3.  Invalid Frames   Frames which are too short (less than 4 octets when using the 16-bit   FCS), or which end with a Control Escape octet followed immediately   by a closing Flag Sequence, or in which octet-framing is violated (by   transmitting a "0" stop bit where a "1" bit is expected), are   silently discarded, and not counted as a FCS error.4.4.  Time Fill4.4.1.  Octet-synchronous   There is no provision for inter-octet time fill.   The Flag Sequence MUST be transmitted during inter-frame time fill.4.4.2.  Asynchronous   Inter-octet time fill MUST be accomplished by transmitting continuous   "1" bits (mark-hold state).   Inter-frame time fill can be viewed as extended inter-octet time   fill.  Doing so can save one octet for every frame, decreasing delay   and increasing bandwidth.  This is possible since a Flag Sequence may   serve as both a frame end and a frame begin.  After having received   any frame, an idle receiver will always be in a frame begin state.Simpson                                                         [Page 9]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 1994   Robust transmitters should avoid using this trick over-zealously,   since the price for decreased delay is decreased reliability.  Noisy   links may cause the receiver to receive garbage characters and   interpret them as part of an incoming frame.  If the transmitter does   not send a new opening Flag Sequence before sending the next frame,   then that frame will be appended to the noise characters causing an   invalid frame (with high reliability).   It is suggested that implementations will achieve the best results by   always sending an opening Flag Sequence if the new frame is not   back-to-back with the last.  Transmitters SHOULD send an open Flag   Sequence whenever "appreciable time" has elapsed after the prior   closing Flag Sequence.  The maximum value for "appreciable time" is   likely to be no greater than the typing rate of a slow typist, about   1 second.4.5.  Transmission Considerations4.5.1.  Octet-synchronous   The definition of various encodings and scrambling is the   responsibility of the DTE/DCE equipment in use, and is outside the   scope of this specification.4.5.2.  Asynchronous   All octets are transmitted least significant bit first, with one   start bit, eight bits of data, and one stop bit.  There is no   provision for seven bit asynchronous links.Simpson                                                        [Page 10]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 19945.  Bit-stuffed framing   This chapter summarizes the use of HDLC-like framing with bit-   synchronous links.5.1.  Flag Sequence   The Flag Sequence indicates the beginning or end of a frame, and is   used for frame synchronization.  The bit stream is examined on a   bit-by-bit basis for the binary sequence 01111110 (hexadecimal 0x7e).   The "shared zero mode" Flag Sequence "011111101111110" SHOULD NOT be   used.  When not avoidable, such an implementation MUST ensure that   the first Flag Sequence detected (the end of the frame) is promptly   communicated to the link layer.  Use of the shared zero mode hinders   interoperability with bit-synchronous to asynchronous and bit-   synchronous to octet-synchronous converters.5.2.  Transparency   After FCS computation, the transmitter examines the entire frame   between the two Flag Sequences.  A "0" bit is inserted after all   sequences of five contiguous "1" bits (including the last 5 bits of   the FCS) to ensure that a Flag Sequence is not simulated.   On reception, prior to FCS computation, any "0" bit that directly   follows five contiguous "1" bits is discarded.5.3.  Invalid Frames   Frames which are too short (less than 4 octets when using the 16-bit   FCS), or which end with a sequence of more than six "1" bits, are   silently discarded, and not counted as a FCS error.5.4.  Time Fill   There is no provision for inter-octet time fill.   The Flag Sequence SHOULD be transmitted during inter-frame time fill.   However, certain types of circuit-switched links require the use ofSimpson                                                        [Page 11]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 1994   mark idle (continuous ones), particularly those that calculate   accounting based on periods of bit activity.  When mark idle is used   on a bit-synchronous link, the implementation MUST ensure at least 15   consecutive "1" bits between Flags during the idle period, and that   the Flag Sequence is always generated at the beginning of a frame   after an idle period.      This differs from practice in ISO 3309, which allows 7 to 14 bit      mark idle.5.5.  Transmission Considerations   All octets are transmitted least significant bit first.   The definition of various encodings and scrambling is the   responsibility of the DTE/DCE equipment in use, and is outside the   scope of this specification.   While PPP will operate without regard to the underlying   representation of the bit stream, lack of standards for transmission   will hinder interoperability as surely as lack of data link   standards.  At speeds of 56 Kbps through 2.0 Mbps, NRZ is currently   most widely available, and on that basis is recommended as a default.   When configuration of the encoding is allowed, NRZI is recommended as   an alternative, because of its relative immunity to signal inversion   configuration errors, and instances when it MAY allow connection   without an expensive DSU/CSU.  Unfortunately, NRZI encoding   exacerbates the missing x1 factor of the 16-bit FCS, so that one   error in 2**15 goes undetected (instead of one in 2**16), and triple   errors are not detected.  Therefore, when NRZI is in use, it is   recommended that the 32-bit FCS be negotiated, which includes the x1   factor.   At higher speeds of up to 45 Mbps, some implementors have chosen the   ANSI High Speed Synchronous Interface [HSSI].  While this experience   is currently limited, implementors are encouraged to cooperate in   choosing transmission encoding.Simpson                                                        [Page 12]

Asynchronous to Synchronous Conversion   There may be some use of asynchronous-to-synchronous converters (some   built into modems and cellular interfaces), resulting in an   asynchronous PPP implementation on one end of a link and a   synchronous implementation on the other.  It is the responsibility of   the converter to do all stuffing conversions during operation.   To enable this functionality, synchronous PPP implementations MUST   always respond to the Async-Control-Character-Map Configuration   Option with the LCP Configure-Ack.  However, acceptance of the   Configuration Option does not imply that the synchronous   implementation will do any ACCM mapping.  Instead, all such octet   mapping will be performed by the asynchronous-to-synchronous   converter.Simpson                                                        [Page 13]

Additional LCP Configuration Options   The Configuration Option format and basic options are already defined   for LCP [1].   Up-to-date values of the LCP Option Type field are specified in the   most recent "Assigned Numbers" RFC [10].  This document concerns the   following values:      2       Async-Control-Character-Map7.1.  Async-Control-Character-Map (ACCM)   Description      This Configuration Option provides a method to negotiate the use      of control character transparency on asynchronous links.      Each end of the asynchronous link maintains two Async-Control-      Character-Maps.  The receiving ACCM is 32 bits, but the sending      ACCM may be up to 256 bits.  This results in four distinct ACCMs,      two in each direction of the link.      For asynchronous links, the default receiving ACCM is 0xffffffff.      The default sending ACCM is 0xffffffff, plus the Control Escape      and Flag Sequence characters themselves, plus whatever other      outgoing characters are flagged (by prior configuration) as likely      to be intercepted.      For other types of links, the default value is 0, since there is      no need for mapping.         The default inclusion of all octets less than hexadecimal 0x20         allows all ASCII control characters [6] excluding DEL (Delete)         to be transparently communicated through all known data         communications equipment.      The transmitter MAY also send octets with values in the range 0x40      through 0xff (except 0x5e) in Control Escape format.  Since these      octet values are not negotiable, this does not solve the problem      of receivers which cannot handle all non-control characters.      Also, since the technique does not affect the 8th bit, this does      not solve problems for communications links that can send only 7-      bit characters.Simpson                                                        [Page 14]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 1994         Note that this specification differs in detail from later         amendments, such as 3309:1991/Amendment 2 [3].  However, such         "extended transparency" is applied only by "prior agreement".         Use of the transparency methods in this specification         constitute a prior agreement with respect to PPP.         For compatibility with 3309:1991/Amendment 2, the transmitter         MAY escape DEL and ACCM equivalents with the 8th (most         significant) bit set.  No change is required in the receiving         algorithm.         Following ACCM negotiation, the transmitter SHOULD cease         escaping DEL.      However, it is rarely necessary to map all control characters, and      often it is unnecessary to map any control characters.  The      Configuration Option is used to inform the peer which control      characters MUST remain mapped when the peer sends them.      The peer MAY still send any other octets in mapped format, if it      is necessary because of constraints known to the peer.  The peer      SHOULD Configure-Nak with the logical union of the sets of mapped      octets, so that when such octets are spuriously introduced they      can be ignored on receipt.   A summary of the Async-Control-Character-Map Configuration Option   format is shown below.  The fields are transmitted from left to   right.    0                   1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |     Type      |    Length     |               ACCM   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+             ACCM (cont)           |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   Type      2   Length      6Simpson                                                        [Page 15]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 1994   ACCM      The ACCM field is four octets, and indicates the set of control      characters to be mapped.  The map is sent most significant octet      first.      Each numbered bit corresponds to the octet of the same value.  If      the bit is cleared to zero, then that octet need not be mapped.      If the bit is set to one, then that octet MUST remain mapped.  For      example, if bit 19 is set to zero, then the ASCII control      character 19 (DC3, Control-S) MAY be sent in the clear.         Note: The least significant bit of the least significant octet         (the final octet transmitted) is numbered bit 0, and would map         to the ASCII control character NUL.Simpson                                                        [Page 16]

Recommended LCP Options   The following Configurations Options are recommended:   High Speed links      Magic Number      Link Quality Monitoring      No Address and Control Field Compression      No Protocol Field Compression   Low Speed or Asynchronous links      Async Control Character Map      Magic Number      Address and Control Field Compression      Protocol Field CompressionB.  Automatic Recognition of PPP Frames   It is sometimes desirable to detect PPP frames, for example during a   login sequence.  The following octet sequences all begin valid PPP   LCP frames:      7e ff 03 c0 21      7e ff 7d 23 c0 21      7e 7d df 7d 23 c0 21   Note that the first two forms are not a valid username for Unix.   However, only the third form generates a correctly checksummed PPP   frame, whenever 03 and ff are taken as the control characters ETX and   DEL without regard to parity (they are correct for an even parity   link) and discarded.   Many implementations deal with this by putting the interface into   packet mode when one of the above username patterns are detected   during login, without examining the initial PPP checksum.  The   initial incoming PPP frame is discarded, but a Configure-Request is   sent immediately.Simpson                                                        [Page 17]

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 1994C.  Fast Frame Check Sequence (FCS) Implementation   The FCS was originally designed with hardware implementations in   mind.  A serial bit stream is transmitted on the wire, the FCS is   calculated over the serial data as it goes out, and the complement of   the resulting FCS is appended to the serial stream, followed by the   Flag Sequence.   The receiver has no way of determining that it has finished   calculating the received FCS until it detects the Flag Sequence.   Therefore, the FCS was designed so that a particular pattern results   when the FCS operation passes over the complemented FCS.  A good   frame is indicated by this "good FCS" value.C.1.  FCS table generator   The following code creates the lookup table used to calculate the   FCS-16.   /*    * Generate a FCS-16 table.    *    * Drew D. Perkins at Carnegie Mellon University.    *    * Code liberally borrowed from Mohsen Banan and D.

RFC 1662                   HDLC-like Framing                   July 1994Security Considerations   As noted in the Physical Layer Requirements section, the link layer   might not be informed when the connected state of the physical layer   has changed.  This results in possible security lapses due to over-   reliance on the integrity and security of switching systems and   administrations.  An insertion attack might be undetected.  An   attacker which is able to spoof the same calling identity might be   able to avoid link authentication.References   [1]   Simpson, W., Editor, "The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)",         STD 50,RFC 1661, Daydreamer, July 1994.
