General Information
Summary
The PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) protocol provides extensive user management,
network management and accounting benefits to ISPs and network administrators. Currently PPPoE
is used mainly by ISPs to control client connections for xDSL and cable modems as well as plain
Ethernet networks. PPPoE is an extension of the standard Point to Point Protocol (PPP). The
difference between them is expressed in transport method: PPPoE employs Ethernet instead of
modem connection.
