PPPoE - PPP over Ethernet - is a protocol standard for opening
and running PPP sessions using Ethernet as a virtual driver. The
Specification can be used by multiple hosts on a shared Ethernet
to open PPP sessions to multiple destinations via one or more bridging
modems. It is intended to be used with broadband remote access technologies
that provide a bridged Ethernet topology, when access providers
wish to maintain the session abstraction associated with PPP [RFC
2516].
Interpeak Embedded PPPoE is a target, RTOS and TCP/IP stack portable
ANSI C implementation of PPPoE running as a server. It is a function
library implementation, which can be inserted into the link layer
to enable the use of PPP over Ethernet. It is implemented specifically
for embedded systems, adhering strictly to the PPPoE standard defined
in RFC 2516 "A Method for Transmitting PPP Over Ethernet".
Interpeak Embedded PPPoE is interoperability tested against the
widely used Roaring Penguin PPPoE, which is used on operating systems
such as Linux, Solaris and BSD. A complete port to several industry-standard
Real-Time Operating Systems are included which has the added benefit
that you can setup and run PPPoE in server mode with minimum time
to market.
