Definition

Internal Use Only

PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet PPP protocol requires P2P relationship for the two communicating parties, not suitable for broadcast in LAN or other PTMP type of networks. Thus PPPoE generated. With PPPoE, multiple hosts on sharing Ethernet are able to perform multiple PPP sessions with Access Concentrator via one or several Bridges.

Flow

Internal Use Only

PPPoE Contains two phases: Discovery and PPP Session

In Discovery phase, based upon network topology, host is able to discover several access concentrator and permit user to select one.

Discovery phase is stateless Client/Server, aiming to obtain Ethernet MAC address of PPPoE terminator and establish a unique PPPOE SESSION_ID.

After Discovery phase, enter standard PPP Session phase.

PPP Discovery Phase

Internal Use Only

Discovery phase: to establish P2P connection on Ethernet, it has to know the Ethernet address of peer end and establish a unique Session ID

Users host broadcasts to find all access concentrators ( or switches) and obtain Ethernet MAC address thereof.

Select one AC needs to be connected and confirm PPP session-id.

Datagram Types

Internal Use Only

There are four steps in Discovery phase, using following four types of datagram:
PADI PADO

PPPOE_Client PADR PADS

PPPOE_Server

After Discovery phase, both communication ends know the PPPoE SESSION_ID and peer end MAC address, they define a PPPoE session together.

The destination address is broadcast address of Ethernet:0xffffffffffff

CODE field is 0x09 SESSION_ID field is 0x0000 PADI should contain at least one ToS tag ToS field is 0x0101

PPPoE Session Phase

Internal Use Only

Users host will perform PPP session with AC based upon the PPP session parameters negotiated in Discovery phase. Once a PPPoE session begins, PPP data is able to send in any other PPP encapsulation. PPPoE Datagram is transferred bearing in Data field of Ethernet frame

SESSION_ID must be the value assigned in Discovery phase and cannot be changed. ETHER_TYPE field is set as 0x8864 CODE must be set as 0x00 PPPoE payload contains a PPP frame, starting from PPP Protocol-ID

All Ethernet frames are sent as Unicast.

PPP peer end should terminate PPPoE session using PPP protocol. If PPP cannot be used, use PADT as substitute.

Run PPPoE Client on Router R1 , data will reach router first and perform PPPoE encapsulation and then access to PPPoE Server (AC) via Ethernet the R1 connected to, finally reach Internet. No need dial-in software on PC. As a PPPoE Client, R1 will perform permanent dial to PPPoE Server and dialer on Client does not negotiate address from Server.

Summary

Internal Use Only

PPPoE protocol include two phases: Discovery and Session Phase PPPoE Datagram is transferred borne in Ethernet data field PPPoE Discovery phase have four type of datagram: PADI, PADO, PADR and PADS.

PADT datagram in PPPoE is used to terminate a session. In PPPoE Discovery phase, Ether_Type field is 0x8863 In PPPoE Session phase, Ether_Type field is 0x8864
