Hi *, I'm trying to set up some kint of test environment for xDSL devices. before wasting much time trying to explain the environment here is a little picture:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XDSL Lines +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Siemens DSLAM | +-------+-------+ | ATM (OC3 SM) | +-------+-------+ fxp0 +---------------+ | Brick XL +--------X-Over---------+ FreeBSD 4.6 | +-------+-------+ +-------+-------+ | | fxp1 Ethernet Ethernet 192.168.64.2 192.168.64.3 | | --------+---------------------------------------+----------- _Internet_ The BrickXL operates as a bridge and bridges the VPI:VCI combinations intended to be used for PPPoE and DHCP directly over the X-Over link to the FreeBSD Box running pppoed and dhcpd. Using tcp connections for bandwith maessurement show normal values, but when using a Ethernet Test Box (SmartApp / SmartBits), which spits out IP pakets at a defined rate and uses all sent frames where recieved as success criteria to determine the maximum transfer rate, gives rates about 60 f/s. when looking at the logs you can see that at higher rates (2000f/s) there are just one or two frames missing. but it takes till theese mentioned 60 f/s second till all packets are recieved by the testequipment. my pppoe config is nothing special: rc.conf --------------------<Schanipp>-------------------- pppoed_enable="YES" pppoed_provider="pppoe" pppoed_flags="-P /var/run/pppoed.pid" pppoed_interface="fxp0" --------------------<Schanipp>-------------------- ppp.conf --------------------<Schanipp>-------------------- default: set log Phase Chat IPCP CCP tun command pppoe: allow mode direct set timeout 0 disable mppe enable pap set ifaddr 192.168.64.3/32 192.168.100.1-192.168.100.127 allow users accept dns set dns 192.168.64.3 disable lcp accept lqr disable deflate disable pred1 disable vjcomp disable acfcomp disable protocomp set vj slotcomp off --------------------<Schanipp>-------------------- mpd is not a good alternative in this cas as AFAIK not capable of acting as a PPPoE-Server. DHCP performs fine. greets flo -- God isn't dead -- he's been busted. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
