PPPoE Connection 

PPPoE is a common WAN connection type used to connect to the Internet. PPP, or point-to-point 

protocol, is a method of establishing a network connection/session between network hosts. PPPoE is a 

protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames and is described in RFC 2516. PPPoE 

provides the ability to connect to a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote 

access concentrator. With this model, each router uses its own PPP stack. Access control, billing, and 
type of service control can all be done on a per-user rather than per-site basis.
