I was wondering what havoc, though, if a server / access concentrator (per rfc2516) was able to be coded (FreeBSD, of course :) and ran on a PPPoE topology. At the minimum, the Discovery phase would be screwed up for what ever clients responded the the rogue server. Are there safeguards that ISP's can perform using premise equipment like access concentrators on these kind of networks?
