LABEL DESCRIPTION
ISP Parameters for Internet Access
Encapsulation The PPP over Ethernet choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The Prestige
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 (i.e. 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.
