Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. 
PPPoE is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host 
personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, 
wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks.

For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that 
works with existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS). 

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.
