pppoa

Introduction

PPPOA is a referusion of point-to-point protocol over askronous transfert protocol over askronous transfer mode, is the information in the OSI model The protocol of the link layer is often used to connect home to the broadband MODEM and Network Service Providers (ISP) of the phone line link.

PPPOA is commonly used in Wired Cable Data Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) and DSL operators, PPP's frame package is encapsulated in AAL5. PPPOA has standard PPP functions such as authentication, encryption, and data compression. If the PPPOA is used as a connection encryption in a network based on asynchronous transmission mode, PPPOA can be slightly reduced Overhead (0.58%). PPPOA also avoids a problem that PPPoE often encounters, is a problem that its maximum transmission unit is less than the standard Ethernet transfer agreement. PPPOA also provides the following encryption methods: VC-MUX and logical link control.
