[as I don my pointy, er, UUNET hat..] > Louis, have you looked at the pppoe node? (as you are the author > of the RFC I'd like your comments) I've looked at the PPPOE node and the pppoed daemon code recently check in. I'm going to try to set up a FreeBSD test environment in my lab and play with it. We just moved a few weeks ago, and are trying to recover from the chaos of that :-( > Is uunet implementing pppoe yet? I notice all our dsl line s are still > 'routed'.

Yes, though its generally only deployed these days for the consumer/residential product, rather than the business service. That reflects what was there first (the business service using what was available, IP/RFC1483/ATM or IP/RFC1490/Frame Relay). I don't know that it's easy to choose between the two, based on the back-end provisioning and OSS software that "knows" how each of the various products are supposed to be configured. The real driver for the PPPoE development was to support large scale deployments for residential/consumer users, and to support a resale model like we do on our dial network. louie (a.k.a. louie@UU.NET) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
