The PPP protocol is the same whether it is used on a router to router serial 
link or a BNG terminating 100,000s of PPPoE and L2TP sessions.  DHCP is still 
DHCP whether being used to provision millions of routers in a broadband 
network, a few in your home, on a wireless or wired enterprise network, etc. 
etc... Of course implementations are optimized and scaled differently, and may 
even have different tweaks or options depending on how it is being used, but 
the protocol itself is the same whether it is used in one type of deployment or 
another. Should we have had separate RFCs and marketing names for every 
environment PPP and DHCP have been used in?
