I am just beginning to learn about PPP and am trying understand how it is typically implemented on a hardware platform that provides a bit-synchronous serial line at high data rates such as T1 line rate ( 1.544Mbps ).  Is this commonly done?  What are the pros and cons of using PPP?  What type of processing power is required to implement the protocol?

In typical PPP implementations, how much of RFC-1331, RFC-1332, and RFC-1333 is 
adhered to?

Any information that you can provide for a PPP beginner would be helpful.
