A PPPoA (point-to-point (PPP) over asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)) spoofing
function
utilizing an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) modem to form a single network
between a client PC and a network access server (NAS) by allowing the ADSL modem
to make a PPP connection to the NAS when the client PC is booted, by allowing the
NAS to transmit Internet protocol (IP) configuration information, including a global
IP address, to a DHCP server of the ADSL modem through a PPP Internet Protocol
control protocol (IPCP), and by allowing the ADSL to transfer the IP configuration
information received from the NAS to the client PC, thereby forming a bridge by
the ADSL modem between the client PC and the NAS to enable IP packets to be transferred
between the client PC and the NAS.
