SLIP modifies a standard Internet datagram by append ing a special "SLIP END" character to it, which allows datagrams to be distinguished as separate. SLIP requires a port configuration of 8 data bits, no parity, and EIA or hardwareHardware is equipment such as fasteners, keys, locks, hinges, wire, chains, plumbing supples, tools, utensils, cutlery and machine parts, especially when they are made of metal. In the United States, hardware has been traditionally sold in " hardware stor flow control. SLIP does not provide error detection, being reliant on other higher- layerThe Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model OSI Model or OSI Reference Model for short) is a layered abstract description for communications and computer network protocol design, developed as part of the Open Systems Interconnect initiative. It is al protocols for this. Over a particularly error-prone dial-upIn telecommunication, the term dial-up has the following meanings: Dial-up access, typically to the Internet A service feature in which a user initiates service on a previously arranged trunk or transfers, without human intervention, from an active trunk connection therefore, SLIP on its own is not satisfactory.

A version of SLIP with header compressionIn computer science, data compression is the process of encoding information using fewer bits, or information units, thanks to specific encoding schemes. For example, this article could be encoded with fewer bits if we accept the convention that the word is called CSLIP (Compressed SLIP).

The Parallel Line Internet Protocol (PLIP) is very similar to SLIP, but works at higher speeds via a parallel port.

Both SLIP and PLIP have been replaced by increasingly-common networks, including home networking – and by other peer-to-peer connections such as USB, used to transfer files to a second computer where a network is not necessary or available.
