I don't see why it should be that inefficient. In fact, I've been
thinking that due to header compression it might even be a bit
faster.
I'm doing it because we need a a machine on a wireless network
to appear to be located at the hub. PPPoE creates a "tunnel" that
does that. The way the network is set up, not all of the nodes can
hear one another, but all can communicate with the hub. Using PPPoE
makes the traffic go through the hub without subnetting (which
would require reconfiguring many machines, some of which I do
not administer). Could you suggest a better solution?
