PPP is a level 2 protocol and supports whatever you can do with an
ethernet card. It is a IETF standard for providing packet based
networking over a serial line. I have set up PPP links over T1 or SHDSL
lines and the interface is simply an ethernet port, just like a switch
etc., and will handle anything an ethernet switch or bridge can handle.
The problem is that consumer level routers don't support IPv6, at least
in routing & NAT functions.

O'Reilly has a good book about PPP.
