LABEL DESCRIPTION
WAN:ISP
Encapsulation The PPPoE choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The router supports
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard
(RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband
modem (for example, xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. Operationally,
PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires
no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By
implementing PPPoE directly on the router rather than individual computers, the
computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the router does
that part of the task. Further, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have access.
