What is PPPoE?

Point-to-point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) was designed for managing how data is transmitted over Ethernet networks (cable networks), and it allows a single server connection to be divided between multiple clients, using Ethernet. As a result, multiple clients can connect to the same server from the Internet Service Provider and get access to the internet, at the same time, in parallel.
 

How do I find my Telkom PPPoE username and password?
