PPPoA Connection Type Set Up:
PPPOA or PPPoA, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM, is a network protocol for
encapsulating PPP frames in ATM AAL5. It used mainly with ADSL services and is
compliant with RFC 2364. PPP over ATM adaptation layer 5 (AAL5) – PPPoA uses
AAL5 as the framed protocol, which supports both PVC and SVC.
PPPoA was primarily implemented to support PPP sessions over the ADSL network. It
relies on RFC1483, operating in either Logical Link Control-Subnetwork Access Protocol
(LLC-SNAP) or VC-Mux mode. A Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) device, normally
an ADSL modem, encapsulates the PPP sessions for transport across the ADSL network
and the Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM).
It offers standard PPP features such as authentication, encryption, and compression.
