7.3 WAN Technical Reference
This section provides some technical background information about the topics covered in this
chapter.
7.3.1 Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The AMG1001-T/AMG1011-T
supports the following methods.
PPP over Ethernet
The AMG1001-T/AMG1011-T supports Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE is an
IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a
broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPPoE option is for a dial-up
connection using PPPoE.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing
access control systems (for example RADIUS).
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a
function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and
offer new IP services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no
specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the AMG1001-T/AMG1011-T (rather than individual computers),
the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the AMG1001-T/AMG1011-T
does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.
PPPoA
PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). A PPPoA connection
functions like a dial-up Internet connection. The AMG1001-T/AMG1011-T encapsulates the PPP
session based on RFC1483 and sends it through an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) to the
Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Access Multiplexer). Please
refer to RFC 2364 for more information on PPPoA. Refer to RFC 1661 for more information on PPP.
