5 * Definitions for the interface between the generic PPP code
8 * A PPP channel provides a way for the generic PPP code to send
9 * and receive packets over some sort of communications medium.
10 * Packets are stored in sk_buffs and have the 2-byte PPP protocol
11 * number at the start, but not the address and control bytes.
