## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- **Serial Line Internet [Protocol](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/49855/tell-me-what-is-root-port-in-spanning-tree-protocol) (SLIP)** is an acronym for Serial Line Internet Protocol. It's a TCP/IP implementation that's documented in RFC 1055. (Request for Comments). SLIP creates point-to-point serial connections that are suitable for dial-up connections, serial ports, and routers. It establishes a connection by framing encapsulated IP packets through a serial line at speeds ranging from 12000 to 19.2 Kbps.
- Rick Adams first utilised SLIP in 1984 to connect 4.2 Berkeley Unix and Sun Microsystems machines. It quickly gained acceptance as a reliable TCP/IP implementation throughout the rest of the world. It has now been superseded by PPP (Point to Point Protocol), which addresses many of its flaws.
