'''PPPD''' is the '''[[Point-to-Point Protocol]] [[daemon (computer software)|daemon]]''' which is used to
manage network connections between two nodes on [[Unix]]-like]] [[operating systems]]. It is configured using [[command-line]] arguments and [[configuration file]]s.
 
While it has initially been used to manage only [[dial-up access]], it is also used to manage [[broadband]] connections such as [[Digital Subscriber Line|DSL]], if [[Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet]] (PPPoE) or [[Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM]] (PPPoA) is used.
