PPPoE Connection
PPPoE is a common WAN connection type used to connect to the Internet. PPP, or point-
to-point protocol, is a method of establishing a network connection/session between
network hosts. PPPoE is a protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames and
is described in RFC 2516. PPPoE provides the ability to connect to a network of hosts over
a simple bridging access device to a remote access concentrator. With this model, each
router uses its own PPP stack. Access control, billing, and type of service control can all
be done on a per-user rather than per-site basis.
