Hi net mailing list,



Currently at my parrents house we have just a cable modem where I use DHCPv6
and DHCP to get a IPv6 prefix and IPv4 address respectivelly.

For this config everything is done in the kernel regarding routing. The ISP
is Telenet and they give me 300 down / 20 up (mbps).



But I really want a higher upload in my future appartment where I will be
moving is *soonTm*.

So looking for ISP's in Belgium, Proximus seems to provide a fibre plan (if fibre is available, but it should be) that does 500 down / 50 up (mbps).

They use PPPOE and was wondering what the max troughput looks like with the
in-base PPPOE client?

I have also found some mentions of net/mpd5, is this a better
implementation?



Thanks

Dries

I wrote my experience with PPPoE for a dual-stack FreeBSD router back in very late 2019 here: https://evilham.com/en/blog/2019-FreeBSD-eXO-router/ it might save you some trouble.

Not much has changed since I wrote that, just as others mentioned: mpd5 is kind of a must, performance gets much better just by using mpd5. FWIW my home fiber runs at 600Mbps without any issues (only limited by the wholesale provider).

Cheers,
