	Carrick Solutions Ltd - What is PPPoE?
		PPPoE is used to allow Internet Service Providers (ISPs) the use of their existing Radius authentication systems from their Dial-Up service on a Broadband / Ethernet based service.
		This is no longer the case they are using their on PPPoE application but it is “standards” compliant.
		The PPPoE server, or Access Concentrator, should respond to the PADI with a PADO if the Access Concentrator is able to service the "service-name" field that had been listed in the PADI packet.

	NetBSD Documentation: Steps to connect via PPPoE (DSL)
		First we create the pppoe interface itself and assign dummy IP numbers to it, which will be replaced later during PPP negotiation.
		Next we attach the pppoe interface to the Ethernet interface used to connect the DSL modem.
		For connections originating from your PPPoE connected machines, this is accomplished by setting the sysctl variable net.inet.tcp.mss_ifmtu to 1, i.e.

	MikroTik RouterOS V2.6 Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Currently, PPPoE is used mainly by ISPs to control client connections for xDSL and cable modems.
		PPPoE is an extension of the standard dial-up and synchronous protocol PPP.
		Generally speaking, the PPPoE is used to hand out IP addresses to clients based on the user (and workstation, if desired) authentication as opposed to workstation only authentication, when static IP addresses or DHCP is used.

	What is PPPoE? - a definition from Whatis.com
		PPPoE can be used to have an office or building-full of users share a common Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), cable modem, or wireless connection to the Internet.
		PPPoE combines the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), commonly used in dialup connections, with the Ethernet protocol, which supports multiple users in a local area network.
		Unlike dialup connections, DSL and cable modem connections are "always on." Since a number of different users are sharing the same physical connection to the remote service provider, a way is needed to keep track of which user traffic should go to and which user should be billed.

	PPPoE on Ethernet
		PPPoE provides the ability to connect a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote access concentrator where each host utilizes its own PPP stack.
		Displays PPPoE protocol errors that prevent a session from being established or errors that cause an established session to be closed.
		PPPoE will be supported on ATM permanent virtual connections (PVCs) compliant with RFC 1483 only.

	Fine Point Technologies - PPPoE FAQS
		PPPoE offers the luxury of being able to easily set up multiple models that allow a provider to resell the same line to one customer multiple times for additional services and/or create multiple options to give more services to choose from to increase their customer base.
		With Client-Side PPPoE Software, when a problem in the connection occurs the user is made aware of it and in most cases given an error message as to what has happened as well as what the possible solution may be.
		With CPE PPPoE this no longer happens, the End User is blind as to why there is a problem which means a frantic “uneducated” call to the call centre.

	DSL PPPOE and Routers
		PPPOE software is a "Dial in Type"; it initiates and keeps the connection alive while you are surfing.
		Usually it is the function of the PPPOE software that comes with the setup CD to provide it to the connection.
		The Router's PPPOE capacity is independent from the Computer, and it keeps the connection alive all the time.

	Configuring and running PPPoE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		PPPoE is a (some say ill-conceived) mechanism that utilizes PPP framing to transmit protocol packets across an ethernet.
		PPPoE is designed to work without much effort on the part of the user.
		Note that the PPPoE protocol itself is strictly link-level, which means that it will only run between a client and a server on the same ethernet segment (no IP routers; the protocol is not an IP protocol).

	RFC 2516 (rfc2516) - A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet (PPPoE)
		When a Host wishes to initiate a PPPoE session, it must first perform Discovery to identify the Ethernet MAC address of the peer and establish a PPPoE SESSION_ID.
		The Ethernet payload for PPPoE is as follows: 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
		Since Ethernet has a maximum payload size of 1500 octets, the PPPoE header is 6 octets and the PPP Protocol ID is 2 octets, the PPP MTU MUST NOT be greater than 1492.

	PPPoE - Debian Wiki
		It was put in use by internet providers and is amazingly annoying because of how it caught PPP implementations off guard (which were usually restricted to serial ports and subsequentially modems).
		If the name server information is not taken from the pppoe data, you will have to insert yourself that data in /etc/resolv.conf
		PPPoE has seen working for Debian GNU/Linux Sarge and later.

	Using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
		A PPPoE connection has a client side and a server side, and either endpoint can be the client or the server.
		Although not possible in PPPoE connections as defined by the RFC 2516, Nx Networks implementation of PPPoE allows you to manually configure the PPPoE peer's MAC address and the session number so that the PPPoE session skips the discovery stage and goes directly into the PPP session stage.
		When the PPPoE connection enters the PPP session stage, the same PPP services available on a standard PPP connection on the router are used (see Using PPP Interfaces).

	VICOMSOFT: Knowledgeshare - PPPoE
		PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) was designed to bring the security and metering benefits of PPP to Ethernet connections such as DSL.
		If you are connecting a LAN to the Internet via DSL with PPPoE, the most economical way to do so is to use a single public IP address allocated by your DSL ISP, and share it across your LAN with Internet sharing hardware or software.
		PPPoE is a standard, and you might assume that all solutions are therefore 'equal'.

		Currently it is possible to make encrypted links to Windows clients, but usually they quit passing IP after five minutes but remain connected and do show that data is passed – this is a bug which is being worked on.
		The “access concentrator name” and PPPoE “service name” are used by clients to identify the access concentrator to register with.
		In a wireless network, the PPPoE server may be attached to our PRISMII 2.4GHz Access Point (infrastructure mode) interface.

	What is PPPoE? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards: PPP and Ethernet.
		PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to the Internet through a common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or cable modem.
		All the users over the Ethernet share a common connection, so the Ethernet principles supporting multiple users in a LAN combine with the principles of PPP, which apply to serial connections.

	Verizon DSL 2: Descent into PPPoE Hell
		With a live circuit, I was now ready for "Step 1" of my journey - installing the software that would enable my logical connection to the central office and allow me to start using DSL to reach the Internet.
		PPPoE (RFC 2516) takes a straightforward Ethernet environment - across which I communicate with my DSL access concentrator - and transforms into a grotesque pseudo-WAN.
		I ended up installing the trial version of Agilent Advisor Software Edition on each machine I worked with so to trace the PPPoE failure (because WinPoet's diagnostics were nonexistent).
