The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Data Link Layer [146,147,175] contains a 16 bit Protocol field to identify the the encapsulated protocol. The Protocol field is consistent with the ISO 3309 (HDLC) extension mechanism for Address fields. All Protocols MUST be assigned such that the least significant bit of the most significant octet equals "0", and the least significant bit of the least significant octet equals "1".

It is recommended that values in the "02xx" to "1exx" and "xx01" to "xx1f" ranges not be assigned, as they are compression inefficient.
Protocol field values in the "4xxx" to "7xxx" range are used for protocols with low volume traffic which have no associated NCP.
Protocol field values in the "cxxx" to "exxx" range identify datagrams as Control Protocols (such as LCP).
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Link Control Protocol (LCP), [146] the Compression Control Protocol (CCP), Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP), [147] and other control protocols, contain an 8 bit Code field which identifies the type of packet. These Codes are assigned as follows:Code Packet Type 1 Configure-Request 2 Configure-Ack 3 Configure-Nak 4 Configure-Reject 5 Terminate-Request 6 Terminate-Ack 7 Code-Reject 8 * Protocol-Reject 9 * Echo-Request 10 * Echo-Reply 11 * Discard-Request 12 * Identification 13 * Time-Remaining 14 + Reset-Request 15 + Reset-Reply* LCP Only
