   4  * Definitions for the interface between the generic PPP code
   5  * and a PPP channel.
   6  *
   7  * A PPP channel provides a way for the generic PPP code to send
   8  * and receive packets over some sort of communications medium.
   9  * Packets are stored in sk_buffs and have the 2-byte PPP protocol
  10  * number at the start, but not the address and control bytes.
