It is using the Ethernet as a local interface between a router and an interface device that has a number of special characteristics and is implemented in a separate chassis. Call it "system engineering" if you like. The actual protocol over the airwaves is PPP as known and loved, far more compact than PPPOE. PPPOE is simply used to manage the local interface between the router and the radio interface. _______________________________________________ Pppext mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/pppext
