PPPoE:
PPPoE is an acronym for point-to-point protocol over Ethernet, which relies on two widely accepted
standards: PPP and Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to
the Internet through a common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or
cable modem. All the users over the Ethernet share a common connection, so the Ethernet principles
supporting multiple users in a LAN combine with the principles of PPP, which apply to serial
connections. PPPOE IP address refers to IP address assigned through the PPPoE mode.
If you choose PPPoE, you need to fill in the account, password and service name, which are provided
by telecom operator.
