I have study your docs about PPPOE and I have not yet got a good understanding of how this would be used or why. What the difference between PPP and PPPOE. PPP over TCP is to slow so I thought I would look at PPPOE. Here's what I understand. PPPOED would be used at the server to listen for PPP connections . What TCP /UDP port does it listen on ? Next how would you use the client / user side. All the doc's that show config samples for ppp.conf do not indicate how the client / user connects to the remote server. what host name IP address etc. What I am trying to do is create a IP tunnel between to FREEBSD gateways. Using PPP over TCP is to slow compared to the same connection not using PPP. I get about 1/10th the throughput using ppp compared to a straight ethernet connection over the same link. Thanks if you can clear this up for me. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
