  2. Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol...

    In computer networking, the Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM (PPPoA) is a layer 2 data-link protocol typically used to connect domestic broadband modems to ISPs via phone lines. It is used mainly with DOCSIS and DSL carriers, by encapsulating PPP frames in ATM AAL5. Point-to-Point Protocol over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (PPPoA) is specified by ...

  3. Point-to-Point Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol

    RFC 2364 describes Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM (PPPoA) as a method for transmitting PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 , which is also a common alternative to PPPoE used with DSL. PPP, PPPoE and PPPoA are widely used in WAN lines. PPP is a layered protocol that has three components: [4]

  4. Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol...

    The Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a network protocol for encapsulating Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. It appeared in 1999, in the context of the boom of DSL as the solution for tunneling packets over the DSL connection to the ISP's IP network, and from there to the rest of the Internet.

    PPP is used to manage network connections between two nodes on Unix-like operating systems. It is configured using command-line arguments and configuration files . While it has initially been used to manage only dial-up access , it is also used to manage broadband connections such as DSL , if Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) or ...

  7. Jumbo frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbo_frame

    Jumbo frames for PPPoE is defined in RFC 4638, with the purpose of removing the old 1492-byte limit (originally defined because PPP needs 8 more bytes of overhead), so that normal 1500-byte Ethernet can run without fragmentation. The "PPP-Max-Payload" tag can still accommodate much larger, non-baby jumbo frames.

  8. EtherType - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EtherType

    EtherType is also used as the basis of 802.1Q VLAN tagging, encapsulating packets from VLANs for transmission multiplexed with other VLAN traffic over an Ethernet trunk. EtherType was first defined by the Ethernet II framing standard and later adapted for the IEEE 802.3 standard. EtherType values are assigned by the IEEE Registration Authority.

  9. PPPoX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPPoX

    PPPoX (PPP over X) designates a family of encapsulating communications protocols implementing Point-to-Point Protocol. Specific implementations: PPPoE: PPP over Ethernet – which can use 802.1q VLANs; PPPoA: PPP over ATM; PPTP: PPP encapsulated over GRE with a parallel control connection and some optional encryption
