//
// PPP implementation.
//
// Packets are encapsulated in ~PppFrame.
//
// PPP is a complex protocol with strong support for link configuration
// and maintenance. This model ignores those details, and only performs
// simple encapsulation/decapsulation and queuing.
//
// In routers, PPP relies on an external queue module (see ~IPacketQueue)
// to model finite buffer, implement QoS and/or RED, and requests packets
// from this external queue one-by-one.
//
// In hosts, no such queue is used, so PPP contains an internal
// queue to store packets waiting for transmission.
// Conceptually, the queue is of infinite size, but for better diagnostics
// one can specify a hard limit in the packetCapacity parameter -- if this is
// exceeded, the simulation stops with an error.
//
// There is no buffering done on received packets -- they are just decapsulated
// and sent up immediately.
//
// @see ~PppInterface
