ZyXELP-330W User's Guide One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP services for specific users. Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the P-330W (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the P-330W does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access. Refer to the appendix for more information on PPPoE.

PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet. Chapter 3 Wizard Setup 32
