Yes, i'll try:
WAN
---------------------
| ROUTER | (also pppoe server using mpd)
----------------------
LAN |
switch
| | | |
user1 user2 user n
ROUTER is a FreeBSD Box
user 1 ... user n are windows stations connected to pppoe server (win
98, windows 2000 or win xp)
On the router is installed a dc++ server.
Users .... 1... to n are connected to dc++ server, they download files
from each other.
The problem is that traffic from user 1 to user 2 , or between any user
is going via LAN nic.
If i do not use pppoe server and assign user1 .... user2 fixed ips then
the traffic in lan is direct from a user to another. The traffic on LAN
nic is not high.
So, pppoe will help in a easyer configuration of a client but traffic in
lan is via LAN nic which is bad... if are many computers it slows down alot.
If user 1 download from user 2 a 700 mb iso it will take only 1 minute
for a 100 mbps lan, but if pppoe is setup and many users download from
each others the traffic lows down a lot... i had experience with 300
kbytes/s instead of 8 mbytes/s.
