The Point to Point Protocol (PPP) over Infrared Data Association (IrDA) Dialup (IrDial) Protocol (PPP Over IrDA Dialup Protocol) is a deprecated protocol that specifies how to initialize and use a modem over an infrared link. It includes contributions from Microsoft, Ericsson, and Nokia. This protocol enables the scenario in which a computer with infrared capabilities has network access by using a modem via an infrared link. To exchange data with the modem, this protocol uses the point-to-point protocol (PPP) in HDLC-like framing, to encapsulate the higher-layer network data so the frames (a bit stream) can be successfully reassembled on the receiving end's IrDial layer.
