Discussion An extended status dictionary contains specific dictionaries describing the status for each subcomponent of the service. For example, a status dictionary contains the following sub-dictionaries, keys, and values:  |  |   |  |   |  |   |  |   |  |   |  |  Other dictionaries can be present for PPoE, PPTP, and L2TP.
