/**
 * @brief   Header of a PPP packet
 * @details A PPP packet is transmited as a payload of an HDLC packet. PPP packets only carry information about control protocol
 * of a PPP stack (Link Control Protocol, IP Control Protocol, etc). IP packets encapsulated in HDLC frame are not
 * considered PPP packet.
 *
 * The format of PPP header plus payload is:
 *
 *
 *  0                   1                   2                   3
 *  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
