One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a function
known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP
services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no specific
configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG-418N v2 (rather than individual computers), the computers
on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG-418N v2 does that part of the task.
Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs' computers will have access.
