PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. It relies on two widely accepted
standards: PPP and Ethernet. It connects users through an Ethernet to the Internet with a
common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or cable modem.
All
the users over the Ethernet can share a common connection. And the PPPoA stands for
Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM. PPPoA uses the PPP dial-up protocol with ATM as the
transport.
