PPPoE module
The PPPoE module shows all Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) sessions and traffic within a certain session.
Web interface
Section titled “Web interface”The PPPoE page shows on top a global graph for both PPPoE discovery and PPPoE session traffic. PCAP buttons allow for capturing that particular protocol. Discovery packets can also be extracted together with Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets.
A table shows all PPPoE sessions with its session ID, used authentication protocol (PAP or CHAP), authentication state and link configuration state. The PCAP button allows for capturing that particular session.
Timing
Section titled “Timing”For every PPPoE session the start and termination time is shown if corresponding PPPoE discovery PADS or PADT packets have been seen. The session duration is calculated based on those times. The first and last activity is updated according to session traffic. In case PADS or PADT have not yet been seen, the activity times will be taken into account for duration calculation.
