Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, and therefore requires no new learning or procedures for
Windows users.
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 VSG (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not
need PPPoE software installed, since the VSG does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's
computers will have Internet access.
