3.3.3 PPPoE

PPPoE stands for "Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet". PPP is the technology used for dialup
Internet access. PPPoE works similar to PPP except it works over a network connection. In this
mode users need to enter their PPPoE username and password. Some ISPs also require a
service name to be entered. Usually, the IP/DNS addresses are assigned dynamically. However, if
users have a static IP through PPPoE, then they will need to enter IP and DNS addresses
provided by the ISP.
