Single connection from your network (could be one or many routers) to a different, non-contiguous network - like from a border router on your network to an ISP for connection to the internet. -

I Always think of point to point connection as a virtual cable connecting two sites that are remote from each other. The confusion in the statement is the use of "ISP". In this context the ISP is not providing a path to the internet they are providing a dedicated path between 2 remote sites. This particular path would only connect the networks from the sites and nothing else. -

haha, that may be the most confusing explanation of a point-to-point I've ever read!'In an enterprise network, static routes configured with exit interfaces are ideal for point-to-point connections like those between a border router and the ISP'
I just think of a point-to-point as a connection between 2 device. All that really says is in a point-to-point connection, there's only one device on the other end of the link, so there's no need to set a next-hop ip.
