PPPoE clients use service name tags, as defined in RFC 2516, to request that an AC support certain services. The client includes a specific service name tag in the PADI packet that it broadcasts to remote ACs, or it can include an empty service name tag of zero length to indicate that any service is acceptable.
On receipt of a PADI packet that it can serve, the AC responds with a PADO packet. The PADO packet contains a service name tag that is identical to the one in the PADI, as well as one or more additional service name tags indicating other services that the AC offers.
