Because ppp is a point to point protocol-- it connects two specific machines together. It does not do network routing. You can of course then do routing over that connection, but the ppp connection itself is purely point to point. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
