BCP: Bridging Control Protocol

The Bridging Control Protocol (BCP), a protocol in the Point-Point Protocol (PPP) suite, is responsible for configuring the bridging protocol parameters on both ends of the point-to-point link. BCP uses the same packet exchange mechanism as the Link Control Protocol. BCP packets cannot be exchanged until PPP has reached the Network-Layer Protocol phase. BCP packets received before this phase is reached are discarded.
