7、/2000)FOREWORDThe International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field oftelecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ ofITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions a

8、nd issuing Recommendationson them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years,establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these

9、topics.The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1.In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards areprepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.NOTEIn this Recommendation, the expression “

10、Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both atelecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation mayinvolve the use of a claimed Intellectual Prop

PPP isa widel

PPP termination point in the networkside interacts with AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) server (e.g. RADIUSserver) and provides AAA functions.Figures 3a and 3b provide the following two options regarding PPP termination point
