The Connection Status table lists the MAC address, SID, Service information MTU and
status of each route destination peer. To provide this point-to-point connection, each
PPPoE session learns the Ethernet address of a remote PPPoE client, and establishes a
session. PPPoE uses both a discover and session phase to identify a client and establish a
point-to-point connection. By using such a connection, a wireless WAN failover is available
to maintain seamless network access if the Wired WAN were to fail

OSPF
Controller Statistics
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state interior gateway protocol (IGP). OSPF routes IP
packets within a single routing domain (autonomous system), like an enterprise LAN. OSPF gathers
link state information from neighbor routers and constructs a network topology. The topology
determines the routing table presented to the Internet Layer which makes routing decisions based
solely on the destination IP address found in IP packets.
Refer to the following for detailed descriptions of the tabs available within the OSPF statistics
