Vicomsoft develops and provides Network Address Translation and TCP/IP routing technology, including PPP and PPPoE features. (This is another way of saying that we can't be held liable or responsible for the content.) Download the PPPoE PDF Introduction However we intend this Q&A as a guide only and recommend that users obtain specific information to determine applicability to their specific requirements. We are providing the best information available to us as of the date of this writing and intend to update it at frequent intervals as things change and/or more information becomes available.
We welcome feedback and comments from any readers on the usefulness or content. Our knowledge of this subject relates to Internet connectivity in general, and stems from our own TCP/IP routing technology. We are presenting this information in a Q&A (Questions and Answers) format that we hope will be useful. PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) was designed to bring the security and metering benefits of PPP to Ethernet connections such as DSL. Modem dial-up connection, on the other hand, use PPP (Point to Point Protocol) which provides secure login, and traffic metering among other advanced features.
As such, plain TCP/IP has been used, with no additional protocols. Computers connected to the Internet via DSL do so through an Ethernet link. This has increased concerns on the part of DSL service providers about security. The arrival of low cost broadband technologies in general and DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) in particular has greatly increased the number of computer hosts that are permanently connected to the Internet.
