The
STHome
IEEE802.1D Transparent Bridging
packet service
(further referred to as
Bridging
) offers complete protocol
transparency and has inherent configuration simplicity. Yet it
provides excellent forwarding performance.
PPPoE is one of two popular mechanisms to get in touch with the
SP.
Bridged PPPoE
By installing a PPPoE client application (provided by your SP.)
on your PC(s) and by using the
STHome
's bridge, connectivity
can be established.
The other method to get in touch with the SP over the DSL line is
PPPoA.
PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying
Similar to Bridged PPPoE this requires installation of a PPTP
dialin application (*) on your PC(s).
(*) Most popular OSs have a PPTP dialin application installed, e.g. Microsoft
DialUp Networking, or support PPTP Tunneling software to be installed.

ATM Cell Switching
The functionality of ATM Cell switching depends on the
capabilities, offered by the drivers included with the ATMF25.6
PCNIC.
(*)
The supported protocol(s) depend on the provisioning by the session client
application, e.g. IP, IPX and NETBEUI for Microsoft's DialUp Networking
application for PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying.
