Horizon science of graphical perspective. Assuming the picture plane stands vertical to ground, and "P" is the perpendicular projection of the eye point "O" on the picture plane, the horizon is defined as the horizontal line through "P". The point "P" is the vanishing point of lines perpendicular to the picture. If "S" is another point on the horizon, then it is the vanishing point for all lines parallel to "OS". But Brook Taylor (1719) indicated that the horizon plane determined by "O" and the horizon was like any other plane: The peculiar geometry of perspective where parallel lines converge in
Point-to-Point Protocol modem line on their own, without some data link protocol. Two derivatives of PPP, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) and Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM (PPPoA), are used most commonly by ISPs to establish a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Internet service connection with customers. PPP is commonly used as a data link layer protocol for connection over synchronous and asynchronous circuits, where it has largely superseded the older Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) and telephone company mandated standards (such as Link Access Protocol, Balanced (LAPB) in the X.25 protocol suite). The only requirement for PPP is that the circuit provided be
