PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet): A network protocol that encapsulates PPP frames inside Ethernet frames. It combines the point-to-point and Ethernet network technologies, enabling a single, direct connection between users and the internet service provider. With built-in security and error detection features, PPPoE is often used in both home and corporate internet connections.
