SLIP originally provided a service for transmitting IP packets over a serial line. Since then the protocol has become a standard and has been used for many other packet based communications. The protocol does NOT provide error protection, error correction, routing etc. The only thing it provides, is start and end of packet markers. The beauty of the protocol is in it s simplicity. It transmits packets over a stream of data, everything else is up to you.
