The following sections discuss protocol support on the MicroMMAC
including WAN protocols, data compression, bridging and routing, and
protocol filtering.
2.1

WAN PROTOCOLS

The MicroMMAC, with a BRIM-W6 installed, supports the following
WAN protocols over the WAN port:
• Point-to-Point Compression Control Protocol (CCP) as defined by
RFC 1962
• Point-to-Point Protocol (LCP) as defined by RFC 1661
• Point-to-Point Protocol (BNCP) as defined by RFC 1638
• Point-to-Point Protocol (IPCP) as defined by RFC 1473
• Point-to-Point Protocol (IPXCP) as defined by RFC 1552
• Frame Relay as defined by RFC 1490
• Frame Relay Data Compression Protocol (DCP) as defined by FRF.9
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a data link layer industry standard WAN
protocol for transferring multi-protocol data traffic over point-to-point
connections. With this protocol, options such as security and network
protocols can be negotiated by the connected devices.
Frame Relay is a packet-switching data communications protocol that
statistically multiplexes many data transmissions over a single
transmission link.
2.2

DATA COMPRESSION

The STAC Electronics Stacker LZS Compression Protocol is supported
over PPP and Frame Relay providing up to 4:1 data compression. Data
compression is supported for each WAN interface for line speeds of up to
256 Kbps. To use data compression, compatible equipment (such as the
MicroMMAC) must be in use at both ends of the WAN link.
