How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T10628756 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: PPP over ATM
Context triple: [RFC 1661, relatedTo, PPP over ATM]

A. PPP over Ethernet
PPP over Ethernet is a network protocol that encapsulates Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames to provide authentication, encryption, and IP address management over broadband connections.
B. Point-to-Point Protocol
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a data link layer communication protocol used to establish direct connections between two network nodes, commonly for internet access over serial links such as dial-up and leased lines.
C. Link Control Protocol for PPP
Link Control Protocol for PPP is a core component of the Point-to-Point Protocol that negotiates and configures data-link connection parameters between two network nodes.
D. X.25
X.25 is an early ITU-T packet-switched network protocol standard widely used for WAN communication before the rise of modern IP-based networks.
E. Frame Relay
Frame Relay is a high-speed packet-switched wide area network (WAN) technology used to efficiently connect local area networks and transfer data across long distances.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
