Which of the following was designed to support multiple network types over the same serial link?
- Ethernet
- SLIP
- PPP
- PPTP
Explanation:
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) was designed to support multiple network types over the same serial link, just as Ethernet supports multiple network types over the same LAN. PPP replaces the earlier Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) that only supports IP over a serial link. PPTP is a tunneling protocol.
