Short for Point-to-Point Protocol, PPP is a communication protocol that enables a dial-up connection (e.g., modem) to connect to other network protocols like TCP/IP and IPX. Unlike SLIP, which is another popular dial-up protocol, PPP offers features such as password protection and error-correction.
