If I can't get mpd(8) to work, I won't have a choice :-) The difference between them (as far as I can tell) is that mpd keeps all the actual packet handling out of userland, so there's less overhead. I've only got 512k/128k ADSL on a Pentium 166, so it doesn't sound like ppp(8) will be a bottleneck, based on your experience. I'm trying mpd because it looks like the 'cleaner' approach - on the other hand, it seems to be the minority choice in terms of general usage. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kris Kennaway" <kris@obsecurity.org> Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 3:05 PM ppp(8) also uses netgraph for PPPoE. Anyway, are you sure you need to worry about mpd? My Pentium 120 router handles my 1.5MBit ADSL at full speed with ppp(8)'s pppoe.
