In computer networking, Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) is a network control protocol for establishing and configuring Internet Protocol over a Point-to-Point Protocol link. IPCP uses the same packet exchange mechanism as the Link Control Protocol. IPCP packets may not be exchanged until PPP has reached the Network-Layer Protocol phase, and any IPCP packets received before this phase is reached should be silently discarded.
