PPPoE
PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. It relies on two widely accepted standards: PPP and
Ethernet. It connects users through an Ethernet to the Internet with a common broadband medium, such as a
single DSL line, wireless device or cable modem. All the users over the Ethernet can share a common
connection.
PPPoE is used for most of DSL modem users. All local users can share one PPPoE connection for accessing the
Internet. Your service provider will provide you information about user name, password, and authentication
mode.
