Objective

Point To Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a network protocol that encapsulates Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames to allow data communication between two network entities or points. Computers within a home or organization obtain an IP address through PPPoE and the Internet Service Provider (ISP) which makes it easy to track that IP address to a specific login name, username and password.
