The Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a network
protocol for encapsulating PPP frames inside Ethernet frames.
Integrated PPP protocol implements authentication, encryption, and
compression functions that traditional Ethernet cannot provide and
can also be used in the cable modem and digital subscriber line (DSL)
and Ethernet that provide access service to the users. Essentially, it
is a protocol that allows to establish a point-to-point tunnel between
two Ethernet interfaces within an Ethernet broadcast domain.
DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming
system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the
Internet or a private network. It associates various information with
domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. A
Domain Name Service resolves queries for these names into IP
addresses for the purpose of locating computer services and devices
worldwide. An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name
System is that it serves as the phone book for the Internet by
translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses.

points without the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to
link them. All base stations in a wireless distribution system must be
configured to use the same radio channel, method of encryption
