The five packet types used by [PPPoE] are: |
| |
|

;; PADI : PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation |
| |
|
7 |
;; PADO : PPPoE Active Discovery Offer |
| |
|
8 |
;; PADR : PPPoE Active Discovery Request |
| |
|
9 |
;; PADS : PPPoE Active Discovery Session-confirmation |
| |
|
10 |
;; PADT : PPPoE Active Discovery Terminate |
| |
|

Their definitions and use can be found in the RFC. |

Once the discovery protocol has done the setup, the session protocol actually passes the [PPP] data between |
| |
|

the AccessConcentrator and the client. |

[ Roaring Penguin Software | http://www.roaringpenguin.com/ ] have a [Free] [implementation of the protocol | http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/rp-pppoe/] that works under [Linux], [NetBSD]/[FreeBSD], and [Solaris]. The [Debian] package is __pppoe__. |

As of 2.4.something, the Linux kernel has kernel-mode [PPPoE] support. The [Kernel] [PPPoE] driver typically yields lower [CPU] load than the Roaring Penguin client. |
