Java Forum / General / January 2007is a java pppoe possible?
Does the microedition allow for pppoe execution. I've only seen stuff like DatagramServer and DatagramClient examples? Would like to see if I can use pppoe over wifi with handhelds! Thank Dennis A.

Vitali > vitali@snet.net Its my understanding that PPPoE is lower on the protocol stack then most people need to worry about. If it works over TCP/IP, it should work over PPP. On a side note, PPPoE is a rather silly abstraction anyway... PPP (Point-to-point protocol) was created as a way to emulate ethernet over a serial line. PPPoE is a way to emulate PPP over Ethernet, so in a way, you're emulating Ethernet over Ethernet. That genius went on to design VoPPPoIPoEoPPPoSLIP. j/k Anyway, if Java ME support sockets at all, PPP vs WiFi vs Ethernet should be irrelevant. >> Does the microedition allow for pppoe execution.

One of the things PPPoE does is handle authentication with ISPs for DSL connections. Silly or not, someone might need the protocol in order to connect and get an IP address. People usually let their router handle that. That functionality is definitely below the socket abstraction that Java normally supplies. according to SUN there our a few jsr's that may apply when released : jsr 259 and jsr 279 Dennis >>> Does the microedition allow for pppoe execution.
