+VyOS utilizes `accel-ppp`_ to provide :abbr:`IPoE (Internet Protocol over
+Ethernet)` server functionality. It can be used with local authentication
+(mac-address) or a connected RADIUS server.
+
+IPoE is a method of delivering an IP payload over an Ethernet-based access
+network or an access network using bridged Ethernet over Asynchronous Transfer
+Mode (ATM) without using PPPoE. It directly encapsulates the IP datagrams in
+Ethernet frames, using the standard :rfc:`894` encapsulation.
+
+The use of IPoE addresses the disadvantage that PPP is unsuited for multicast
+delivery to multiple users. Typically, IPoE uses Dynamic Host Configuration
+Protocol and Extensible Authentication Protocol to provide the same
+functionality as PPPoE, but in a less robust manner.
.. note:: Please be aware, due to an upstream bug, config changes/commits
will restart the ppp daemon and will reset existing IPoE sessions,
