Description:
In this deployment environment, the PPPoA session is between the ADSL WAN
interface and BRAS. The ADSL Router acts as a bridge and receives a public IP
address from BRAS for your computer. And only the one that bears the public IP
address is allowed to access the Internet. Moreover, no NAT translation will be done
at this case.
