This is the code for CCP "compression code protocol" and means that both
ends of the ppp session could not agree on a compression method.

This is a call to remove the route to the remote end, at the end of a PPP
session, and apparently is typical for linux PPP:

The students learn that effective action arises out of silence and a clear
sense of being.  In this they find a source of peace.  They  discover that
the person who is down-to-earth can do what needs doing  more  effectively
than the person who is merely busy.  - Lao Tzu's    "Tao Te Ching"   500BC
