## Introduction

PPPoE is a protocol used primarily by DSL and fiber-to-the-home ISPs where customers are authenticated with a username and password combo. PPPoE is used in countries where an incumbent ISP is requierd to share their network with other ISPs as customers can be routed via a domain name to the desired ISP.

[accel-ppp](https://accel-ppp.org/) is a Linux kernel-accelerated implementation of PPPoE and related protocols such as PPTP, L2TP, and others.

## Conclusion

PPPoE often gets a bad rap and it's easy to see why: you need to configure usernames and passwords manually. Despite that, it allows for security to a Layer 2 broadcast domain in ISP scenarios where requiring 802.1X or MACSEC would be undesirable, for instance to allow customer-owned routers or static IP addresses. And now you are your own mini-ISP, congratulations!
