White Paper Abstract:
This document describes an end-to-end Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) architecture that uses Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE).
In the current environment of Access technologies, it is desirable to connect multiple hosts at a remote site through the same customer premise access device. It is also essential to provide access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dialup services that use Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). In many Access technologies, the most cost-effective method to attach multiple hosts to the customer premise access device is via Ethernet. In addition, it is desirable to keep the cost of this device as low as possible and the configuration requirement less or none.
