ZyXEL Communications NBG5615 User Manual page 31

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 enables the service provider to easily create
and offer new IP services for specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it
requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG5615 (rather than individual computers), the computers
on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG5615 does that part of the task.
Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.
