Please Whitelist This Site?

I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)

If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.

If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely, Charles Kozierok

PPP Authentication Protocol (PAP, CHAP) Frame Formats
(Page 1 of 3)

For links where security is important, PPP provides two optional authentication protocols. These are used during initial link setup by the Link Control Protocol (LCP) to deny PPP connections to unauthorized devices. The two authentication protocols are the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).

PAP and CHAP are control protocols and thus use the same basic control protocol frame format described earlier in this section. However, since they have a very different purpose than LCP and many of the other control protocols, they use a distinct set of frames, with their own unique set of Code values. I thought it might be useful to see how PAP and CHAP frames are constructed. PAP uses three different control frame types, and CHAP uses four. To save space and show how the frames compare to each other, I will show them in one table for each protocol instead of seven tables.
