|

>This program can be used to enable PPPoE support using the pppd
|
|
daemon. PPPoE is a technique for the encapsulation of PPP streams
|
|
inside of Ethernet frames. This technology is being deployed by
|
|
high-speed Internet access providers (cable modems, xDSL, etc.) in
|
|
order to decouple the supply of bandwidth from ISP services. In
|
|
particular, in Canada, the Bell Sympatico ADSL service is moving from
|
|
DHCP-based access control to PPPoE. Further details on PPPoE can be
|
|
found in RFC2516.</P
