[edit] Why is PPP over modem not tunneling?
Why is PPP over a POTS or ISDN modem not considered as tunneling? PPP over modem is an LLC protocol encapsulated in another. Okay, a modem behaves as if it were a circuit switched physical link (an asynchronous serial link), but modern modems include LLC sublayer, since they divide the data into blocks (some kind of packets) rather than codewords (there are no start and stop bits), and performs packet mode flow control and automatic repeat request.
I don't undertand the definition, that tunneling is encapsulation of A in B as if B were a datalink protocol. In many tunelling protocols B is a datalink protocol. Example: PPPoE, PPPoA, etc. Mange01 18:09, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why was the web link removed by anti-vandalism bot?
User:Starunj (who I am not affiliated with) added the following external reference to Tunneling protocol: Tunneling SSH from behind an HTTP proxy server
Why was this considered as vandalism and reverted by VoABot_II ? Mange01 12:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Answer at the user talk:VoABot_II page:
- One regexp was too short (for deteting all consonant garbage words). Fixed.Voice-of-All 19:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Okay . I revert the bot revert. Mange01 22:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
