7.2.4 PPPoE or PPPoA

PPPoA (point-to-point protocol over ATM) and PPPoE (point-to- point protocol over Ethernet) are authentication and connection protocols used by many service providers for broadband Internet access. These are specifications for connecting multiple computer users on an Ethernet local area network to a remote site through common customer premises equipment, which

is the telephone company’s term for a modem and similar devices. Users share a common Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), cable modem, or wireless connection to the Internet. PPPoE

and PPPoA combine the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), commonly used in dialup connections, with the Ethernet protocol or ATM protocol, which supports multiple users in a local area network. The PPP protocol information is encapsulated within an Ethernet frame or ATM frame.

Before configuring the router, check with your ISP to ensure you have the correct information.
