dynamically select their ISP.
PPPoE is a client-server protocol used for carrying PPP-encapsulated data over Ethernet
frames. A PPPoE client can establish a tunnel that carries PPP frames between a dialing host
(the Branch Gateway) and an access concentrator. This enables the use of PPP authentication
