One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network 
services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to 
easily create and offer new IP services for specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it 
requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber’s site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG-318S (rather than individual computers), the 
computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG-318S does that 
part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.
Refer to the appendix for more information on PPPoE.

3.4.3  PPTP Connection
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfers of data 
from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/
IP-based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public 
networks, such as the Internet.
Refer to the appendix for more information on PPTP.
