PING
Packet Internet Groper, a utility used to determine
whether a specific IP address is accessible. It functions
by sending a packet to the specified address and waits

connections.
PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a
specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to
the Internet through a common broadband medium,
such as DSL or cable modem. All the users over the
Ethernet share a common connection.
Protocol

devices use to communicate with each other, and thus
they have different functions. Some protocols are
