PPPoE Overview

Your service provider may use PPPoE for several reasons:

Each host can use its own protocol stack, enabling each user to continue

using a familiar interface.

The service provider can control access, track usage, provide services,

and bill for usage on a per-user basis, rather than on a per-site basis.

The service provider can use PPP authentication to ensure that the hosts

requesting access to network services are authorized to use those

If an individual user is using ADSL with PPPoE to connect from his or her

home to the service provider, that user must load a PPPoE client on his

workstation. For a company environment, the PPPoE client is frequently

configured on the router establishing the ADSL connection. In this case, the

users on the company's LAN do not have to run a PPPoE client on their

workstation.

To implement PPPoE, the service provider must set up an access concentrator,

or access server. This access concentrator negotiates the PPPoE session with

the client—which is, in this case, the ProCurve Secure Router. (See Figure 7-8.)
