PPPoE

PPPoE, point-to-point protocol over Ethernet, is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames. It is used mainly with DSL services. It offers standard PPP features such as authentication, encryption, and compression. Unfortunately it has a MTU lower than that of standard ethernet which can sometimes cause problems with badly configured firewalls.
