/*!	\class KPPPLayer
	\brief An abstract layer that can encapsulate/send and receive packets.

	All packet handlers should derive from this class. It does not define a protocol
	number like KPPPProtocol does. It only has a header overhead and an encapsulation
	level that is used to determine the order at which the packets get encapsulated
	by the layers. If this layer does not encapsulate PPP packets you should use
	PPP_PROTOCOL_LEVEL.
