PPPoE DSL and non PPPoE?

Hi,

What is the difference between PPPoE DSL and non PPPoE?

PPoE is very good for ISP provider. They can track it down by IP address and it encourage provider to assign dynapic IP rather than static IP.

Basically PPPoE utilizes the technique of tunneling and similar to VPN technology.

Just my 2 cents.

Thank you chowmen.
Are PPPoE and PPPoA one and the same?

PPPoE

Acronym for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE relies on two
widely accepted standards: PPP and Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for
connecting the users on an Ethernet to the Internet through a common
broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or cable
modem. All the users over the Ethernet share a common connection, so
the Ethernet principles supporting multiple users in a LAN combine with
the principles of PPP, which apply to serial connections.

PPPoA

PPPOA or PPPoA, Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM, is a network protocol
for encapsulating PPP frames in ATM AAL5. It used mainly with cable modem
and DSL services. It offers standard PPP features such as authentication,
encryption, and compression.

PPPoA is published in RFC 2364.
