No - I'm afraid I've no practical experience anyway. > What software/hardware for PPPoE is capeable of > handling full FastEthernet speed? ppp(8) w/ netgraph(4) is available in -stable and -current. I'm not sure what you man by fast ethernet though. It can easily handle 10Mbit, but I'd estimate you'll only manage about 60Mbits tops with user-ppp on a 700Mhz machine without compression (although of course your throughput should multiply linearly if you use SMP). This will increase somewhat when I (finally) squeeze more of ppp(8) into the kernel, but then I'll be faced with the problem of what to call it... user-ppp will be just wrong :-( > Thanks in advance, > > Roland -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
