Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) The SLIP is a TCP/IP protocol used for communication between two machines that are previously configured for communication with each other. For example, your Internet service provider may provide you with a SLIP connection so that the provider’s server can respond to your requests, pass them onto the Internet. Feb 06, 2017 PPP is a standard protocol used to send data over synchronous serial links. PPP also provides a Link Control Protocol (LCP) for negotiating properties of the link. LCP uses echo requests and responses to monitor the continuing availability of the link. Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) (Page 1 of 3) The need for a data link layer protocol to let IP operate over serial links was identified very early on in the development of TCP/IP. Engineers working on the Internet Protocol needed a way to send IP datagrams over serial connections linking computers together. Definition of serial line internet protocol (SLIP): Dated standard protocol used in connecting to internet via a dialup connection over serial lines (telephone circuits, RS-232 cables). Now largely replaced by the point to point protocol (PPP).
Slip Serial Line Internet Protocol
Definition of SERIAL LINE INTERNET PROTOCOL (SLIP): Has been replaced with point-to-point protocol or PPP. Was the protocol used in connecting to the internet by a dial up connection. SLIP is a TCP/IP protocol used for communication between two machines that are previously configured for communication with each other. For example, your Internet server provider may provide you with a SLIP connection so that the provider's server can respond to your requests, pass them on to the Internet, and forward your requested Internet responses back to you.
