What's the Difference?

Hello,

Can you explain to me what is the difference between PPP and PPPoE

PPP and PPP over Ethernet (maybe "on" instead of "over")

I don't think there's much of a difference besides what Hunter said. PPP is a protocol, Ethernet is a medium. PPPoe describes both, while PPP describes only the protocol.

PPP - Point to Point Protocol
PPPoE - Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet

PPP is generally used for dial-up connections (telephone modems).
PPPoE is generally used for cable/dsl modems.

And for future reference, www.whatis.com is good for finding out these kind of things.
