PPPoE is a tunneling protocol which allows layering IP, or other protocols that run over PPP,
over a connection between two Ethernet ports, but with the software features of a PPP link, so it
is used to virtually "dial" to another Ethernet machine and make a point to point connection with
it, which is then used to transport IP packets, based on the features of PPP.
It allows the use of traditional PPP-based software to handle a connection which does not use a
serial line, but a packet-oriented network like Ethernet, to provide a classical connection with
login and password for Internet connection accounting. Also, the IP address on the other side of
the link is only assigned when the PPPoE connection is open, allowing the dynamic reuse of IP
addresses.
