Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.4rel-2
Severity: normal

When using the rp-pppoe plugin and pppoe, the fragments used are tiny (8 bytes 
of ppp data), and consequently the link behaves really really poorly. The 
correct behaviour is that MLPPP fragments should be (packet size) / (number of 
links), but less than MTU. When using /usr/sbin/pppoe, it works fine.

Looking through the kernel code, the only way I can see that this would happen 
is if rp-pppoe didn't correctly pass through the MTU and instead passed it 
through as zero. A zero MTU would cause the above behaviour. A quick look at 
rp-pppoe hasn't told me anything useful though.
