PPPoE Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection.
PPPoE is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) draft standard specifying
how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example,
DSL, cable, or wireless) to achieve access to high-speed data networks. It
preserves the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking experience and requires no
new learning or procedures.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that
works with existing access control systems (for instance, Radius). For the user,
PPPoE provides a logon and authentication method that the existing Microsoft
Dial-Up Networking software can activate, and therefore requires no new learning
or procedures for Windows users.
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple
network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This means the
service provider can easily create and offer new IP services for specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP
or carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the
subscriber site.
