They are compression capabilities that can be negotiated for use with
the point-to-point protocol ("PPP").  If you need more information,
and you can't work it out on your own from the source, you'll need to
ask a more specific question.  Other than protocol developers, I
wouldn't expect anybody to need to know about that kind of option
these days.
