  1. Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption

    Microsoft Point to Point Encryption MPPE is a protocol for encrypting data across Point to Point Protocol PPP and virtual private network VPN links. It uses the RSA RC4 encryption algorithm. MPPE supports 40 bit, 56 bit and 128 bit session keys, which are changed frequently to improve security. The exact frequency that the keys are changed is negotiated, but may be as frequent as every packet. MPPE alone does not compress or expand data, but the protocol is often used in conjunction with Microsoft Point to Point Compression which compresses data across PPP or VPN links. Negotiation of MPPE happens within the Compression Control Protocol CCP , a subprotocol of PPP. This can lead to incorrect belief that it is a compression protocol.

  1. Point-to-point transit

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Globalize date December 2010 Point to point transit refers to a transportation system where a plane, bus or train travels directly to a destination, rather than going through a central Transportation hub hub . This differs from the spoke hub distribution paradigm in which the transportation goes to a central location where passengers change to another train, bus or plane to reach their destination. In the airline industry, Southwest Airlines in the United States is a primary example of an airline that uses the point to point transit model. Currently, Southwest Airlines actually uses a hybrid system, flying point to point routes, but also connecting passengers through several smaller hubs at Phoenix Sky Harbor, Las Vegas McCarran, Dallas Love, Houston Hobby, Chicago Midway, Baltimore Washington, Kansas City, and a few others. It is doubtful if there is any true point to point airline, as most have at least a homebase airport where most flights originate or depart, which becomes a de facto hub, whether that is the intention or not. The United States airline industry was point to point until Airline Deregulation Act deregulation in the late 1960s early 1970s when they switched to the hub concept. Advantages The advantage of a point to point system is that it may minimize connections and travel time, but only if the airline serves the destination via the origination point.
