Description:
In this deployment environment, the PPPoA session is between the ADSL WAN interface and BRAS.
The ADSL Router gets a public IP address from BRAS when connecting to DSLAM. The multiple
client PCs will get private IP address from the DHCP server enabled on private LAN. The enabled
NAT mechanism will translate the IP information for clients to access the Internet.
