Some ISPs assign the IP addresses through Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE acts as a standard dial-up connection to give some of the features of Ethernet and PPP. This system allows the ISP to use the billing, authentication, and security systems designed for dial-up, DSL modem, and cable modem service.
