access for all the hosts in a LAN using a single ADSL account, even if the hosts do not have PPPoE client
software installed.
Figure 64 Network diagram
As shown in Figure 64, Host A and Host B are in an Ethernet and are connected to the device operating
as a PPPoE client. Data in the Ethernet and destined for the Internet is passed to the PPPoE client and is
then encapsulated by PPPoE before being transmitted to the PPPoE server, which in turn transmits the data
to the Internet. For Host A and Host B, the PPPoE client dial-up software is not needed.
