ECP State:

The current state of the point-to-point link. If ªOpenº then encryption was successfully negotiated on this link. If not ªOpenº, encryption is not running on the link.

Previous State:

The state of the point-to-point link before the state displayed in the current state ®eld.

Time Since Change:

The elapsed time between the above two state changes.

Local (transmit) encrypter:

This encryption algorithm is used for encrypting the data being sent on this PPP interface.

Remote (receive) encrypter:

The encryption algorithm is used for decrypting the received data on this interface.
