What is PPTP?
PPTP
How can we transport PPP frames from a PC to a broadband modem over Ethernet?
A solution is to build PPTP into the ANT (ADSL Network Termination) where PPTP is used only over the short haul between the PC and the modem over Ethernet. For the rest of the connection, the PPP frames are transported with PPP over AAL5 (RFC 2364). The PPP connection, however, is still between the PC and the ISP. The various connections in this setup are depicted in the following diagram. The drawback of this solution is that it requires one separate ATM VC per destination.

When the ZyWALL is deployed in such a setup, it appears as a PC to the ANT.
