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.
