Appendix B: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple
computer users on an Ethernet to a remote site through common customer premises
equipment. PPPoE can be used to have an office or building-full of users share a common
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) connection to the Internet. PPPoE combines the Point-to-Point
Protocol commonly used in dialup connections, with the Ethernet protocol, which supports
multiple users in a local area network. The PPP Protocol information is encapsulated within
an Ethernet frame.
