The Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a network protocol for encapsulating Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. It appeared in 1999, in the context of the boom of DSL as the solution for tunneling packets over the DSL connection to the Internet service provider's (ISP's) IP network, and from there to the rest of the Internet. A 2005 networking book not. Original rationaleIn late 1998, the DSL service model had yet to reach the large scale that would bring prices down to household levels. ADSL technology had been proposed a decade earlier. Potential and alike. Around 2000, the PPPoE protocol was used either (i) to connect a DSL modem to a computer or router, displacing the earlier method of using, or (ii) the PPP+PPPoE trio of protocol headers was used to con. The PPPoE has two distinct stages: Since traditional PPP connections are established between two end points over a serial link or over an ATM that has already been established during dial-up, all PP.
