PPP routines enable IP communication over a direct connection between two networking nodes.

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a data link protocol commonly used in establishing a direct connection between two networking nodes and has largely superseded the older SLIP Interface and other standards. It can provide connection authentication, transmission encryption, and compression. PPP was designed to work with numerous network layer protocols, including for example Internet Protocol (IP).

PPP is used over many types of physical networks. In the Network Component of the Middleware, a serial connection over UART is the only supported type.
