Andy,
Think about all that PPP might encompass and then
think about the question and then think about what
Narbik said, and remember some vendors also cover PPP
in all of its... beauty and eloquence so it might not
be a bad idea to spend a couple of hours getting to
know it.
Besides, if you ever met Bruce Caslow and he asked you
to ask yourself about the one of the first questions
you have to ask yourself, aka:
1. Is it a Point to Point interface
2. Or is it a Broadcast interface
3. Or is a Point to Multi-Point interface
If one is not prepared to answer the question
properly, then, one is probably not yet prepared yet
to sit the lab.
This is a fundamental question. And remember some
authors may only refer to two types of interfaces.
I prefer the 3 type distinction, especially when I'm
thinking about things like split-horizon and the
different interfaces. Tricky little fellow, if I must
say so.
So PPP over Frame is still PPP, even if it includes a
Virtual Template.
PPP and PPP Multilink to very common implementations.
(I was just reading CCIE Practical Studies by Gorito
and it is there too. Just an FYI.)
Then if there happens to be authentication, is it
unidirectional or bi-directional. And then would you
use chap or pap?
What about using compression?
I mean there are a few tricks that can come to mind
quick enough.
Trust me, I've done a few or more labs where PPP has
come up and bit me hard enough.
So for me, it's still on the list.
