Characteristics of PPP
PPP provides CHAP and PAP authentication to enhance the
network security.
The physical layer of PPP supports asynchronous mode and
synchronous mode.
PPP has network control protocols for different network layers.

Overview of PPP
Definition of PPP:
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for
transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links.
Correspondence between the PPP and the protocol stack

Components of PPP
A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring, and
testing the data-link connection.
A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing
and configuring different network-layer protocols.
PPP extend protocols. (For example, Multilink protocol)

Overview of the PPPoE
Why is PPPoE required?
The PPP is not applicable to the broadcast networks or
some other networks of multi-point access. Hence, the
PPPoE emerged.
Page 30
Overview of the PPPoE
The PPPoE is comprised of two phases:
the discovery phase
the PPP session phase.
Page 31
Discovery Phase
Execute a discovery procedure to identify the peer MAC
address and then create a unique PPPoE session ID.
When a PPP session is established, the PPPoE discovery
phase is completed.
Page 32
Session Phase
Peers transmit PPP data to each other for negotiations and
data transmission.
The packets transmitted in this phase must keep the session
ID determined in the discovery phase.

PADI Packet
Ethernet
The destination address is broadcast address 0xffffffff and the source address is the
Ethernet address of the host. The value of ETHER_TYPE is 0x8863, the code value
is 0x09, and SESSION-ID is 0x0000. TAG_TYPE: There is one and only one
Service-Name that indicates the service requested by the host. There can be other
TAG_TYPE of any quantity.
Page 38
PADO Packet
Ethernet
The destination address is the Ethernet address of the host. The source address is the
Ethernet address of the access concentrator. The value of ETHER_TYPE is 0x8863,
the code value is 0x07 and SESSION-ID is 0x0000. TAG_TYPE: There must be one
AC-Name TAG that comprises the name of the access concentrator, one Service-
Name TAG that is the same as the received PADI and other Service-Name TAGs of
any quantity to indicate the services that can be provided by the concentrator.
Page 39
PADR Packet
The destination address is the Ethernet address of the access concentrator and the
source address is the Ethernet address of the host. The value of ETHER_TYPE is
0x8863, the code value is 0x19, and SESSION-ID is 0x0000. TAG_TYPE: There
must be a TAG of Service-Name type to indicate the requested service to the
concentrator. There can be other TAGs of any quantity.
Ethernet
Page 40
PADS Packet
The destination address is the Ethernet address of the host and the source address
is the Ethernet address of the access concentrator. The value of ETHER_TYPE is
0x8863, the code value is 0x65, and SESSION-ID is the value specified by the
concentrator to uniquely identify a PPPoE session. TAG_ TYPE: It comprises a
TAG of Service-Name type to indicate the service provided by the concentrator to
the session. It can comprise other TAGs of any quantity.
Ethernet
Page 41
PADT Packet
PADT can be sent by the host or the concentrator at any time
after the session is establishedand the destination address is
unique address.
The value of ETHER_TYPE is 0x8863, the code value is 0xa7,
and SESSION-ID is the session to be terminated. TAG is not
required.

Once a PPPoE session is
established, the host and the access
concentrator start to transmit the PPP
data via PPP. All the Ethernet frames
have unique addresses. Now the
value of frame type is 0x8864, the
code value is 0x00, and the
SESSION-ID remains the same in the
whole session process. The PPPoE
payload field comprises a PPP data
packet.
Page 43
Summary
The PPP has three components: PPP extend
Protocol, LCP protocol and NCP protocol.
The PPP completes data link configuration and
test via the LCP.
The PPP completes the configuration of
parameters needed for the network layer
communication via the NCP protocol.
PAP and CHAP working mechanism.

Summary
The PPPoE comprises the PPPoE discovery
phase and the PPPoE session phase.
The PPPoE discovery phase comprises four types
of packets: PADI, PADO, PADR and PADS.
The PADT packet is used to terminate a session.
During the PPPoE discovery phase, the value of
the Ethernet protocol field is 0x8863.
During the PPPoE session phase, the value of the
Ethernet protocol field is 0x8864.
