SLIP is an abbreviation for Serial Line Internet Protocol. It is software that allows the Internet Protocol (IP), normally used on Ethernet, to be used over a serial connection line, such as an RS-232 serial port connected to a modem. SLIP modifies a standard Internet datagram by appending a special SLIP END character to it, which allows datagrams to be distinguished separately. SLIP does not provide any error detection, being reliant on other high-layer protocols for this. Therefore, SLIP on its own is not satisfactory over a particularly error-prone dial-up connection. SLIP has been largely replaced by the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), which is better engineered and has more enhanced features.
