PPPoA Connection
Another commonly used WAN connection type is PPPoA. PPPoA is also known as RFC 2364. It is a
method of encapsulating PPP packets in ATM cells that are carried over the DSL line. PPP, or point-to-
point protocol, is a method of establishing a network connection/session between network hosts. It
usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users. Logical Link Control (LLC) and Virtual Circuit
(VC) are two different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your service provider to
determine which encapsulation is being used on your Internet connection.
