+ * @brief   Header of a PPP packet

+ * of a PPP stack (Link Control Protocol, IP Control Protocol, etc). IP packets encapsulated in HDLC frame are not
+ * considered PPP packet.
+ *
+ * The format of PPP header plus payload is:
+ *
+ *
+ *  0                   1                   2                   3
