Line 1:
In [[computing]], the '''Link Control Protocol''' (LCP) forms part of the [[Point-to-Point Protocol]]. In setting up PPP communications, both the sending and receiving devices send out LCP [[packet (information technology)|packet]]s to determine the standards of the ensuing data transmission. LCP is logically a [[Transport Layer]] protocol according to the [[OSI model]], however it occurs as part of the [[Data link layer]] in terms of the actual implemented [[Network stack]].
The LCP [[Communications protocol|protocol]]
* checks the identity of the linked device and either accepts or rejects the [[peer-to-peer| peer]] device
* determines the acceptable packet size for transmission
