PPPOA or PPPoA, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM, is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in ATM AAL5. It is used mainly with cable modem, DSL and ADSL services. In computing, the Point-to-Point Protocol, or PPP, is commonly used to establish a direct connection between two nodes. ...

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a form of DSL, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional modem can provide. ...


It offers standard PPP features such as authentication, encryption, and compression. If it is used as the connection encapsulation method on an ATM based network it can reduce overhead slightly (around 0.58%) in camparison to PPPoE. It also avoids the issues that PPPoE suffers from related to having a MTU lower than that of standard ethernet transmission protocols. It also supports (as does PPPoE) the encapsulation types: VC-MUX and LLC based.
