We assume here that you want to connect your LEAF router to the Internet via PPPoA. The PPPoE connection is covered in another section of this user's guide. So is the PPTP/PPPoA connection. What is described here corresponds to section 3.2.4 of the DSL How-To document. The traffic to your internal network goes through eth0 while access to the Internet via PPPoA goes through ppp0.

The PPP-Howto and the DSL-Howto are two useful references for this section.
