[on PPPoE]
Well... a few toronto people and I got together (I'm trying to find
email addresses) to discuss the problem. One particular thought that
we had was that it would be cool if a single ppp process could handle
a large number of connections. We also discussed the fact that you
may very well want some low-level routing of the PPPoE packets.
The cost model with our telco (at least) is that each ethernet
connection costs $1500/mo. So... we need to be able to run somewhere
around 5K to 10K connections (users) down each pipe. This means that
a box on the front end to "route" the packets to multiple boxes is an
asset.
Dave.
