3.2.3
PPPoE Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) draft 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). For the user, PPPoE provides a login
and authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can
activate, and therefore requires no new learning or procedures for Windows users.
