Link Control Protocol
<protocol> A protocol used to automatically agree upon encapsulation format options, handle varying packet size limits, authenticate the identity of its peer on the link, determine when a link is functioning properly and when it is defunct, detect a looped-back link and other common misconfiguration errors, and terminate the link.
[RFC 1570].

Link Control Protocol
In computing, the Link Control Protocol (LCP) forms part of the Point-to-Point Protocol. In setting up PPP communications, both the sending and receiving devices send out LCP packets to determine specific information that the prospective data transmission will require. The LCP protocol:
- checks the identity of the linked device and either accepts or rejects the peer device
- determines the acceptable packet size for transmission
- searches for errors in configuration
- can terminate the link if requirements exceed the parameters
- Code: Operation requested: configure link, terminate link, ... and acknowledge and deny codes.
- data: Parameters for the operation
