When connecting your computer to the Internet through a DSL connection, which protocol would you expect to be used on the DSL connection?
1. DHCP
2. >>PPP
3. PPPoE
4. FTP
Explanation : A computer connects to a DSL-enabled phone line through a DSL modem. The computer's Ethernet network card connects directly to the modem, and the modem connects directly to the phone line. The connection between the network card and the broadband device most likely uses Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), a protocol specifically designed to support broadband connections. PPPoE is included in Windows XP.
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is used when establishing a Dial-Up connection from one computer to another.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used to establish a connection between an FTP server and host. It is used to transfer files over a network.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns IP addresses to clients.
