PPTP

Each PPTP session has distinct control connection and PPP data connection.

Call Connection

The control connection runs over TCP. Similar to L2TP, a tunnel control connection is first established
before call control messages can be exchanged. Please note that a tunnel control connection supports
multiple call sessions.

The following diagram depicts the message exchange of a successful call setup between a PC and an ANT.

PPP Data Connection

The PPP frames are tunneled between the PNS and PAC over GRE (General Routing Encapsulation, RFC
1701, 1702). The individual calls within a tunnel are distinguished using the Call ID field in the GRE
header.
