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