Every few weeks...months, the PPPoE session for my ADSL line goes
away (some time during the night) and is not reestablished. The
corresponding pppoe interface is down, state "initial", a number
of PADIs have been sent, but no further retries seem to be happening.
When I become aware of the problem, I only need to do "ifconfig
pppoe0 up" and a new session is established immediately.
In this part of the world, PPPoE sessions for consumer ADSL lines
are dropped after 24h, so there is a daily disconnect, but pppoe
reconnects right away. No problem there. Other session drops
happen from time to time and look suspiciously like scheduled
maintenance work at the ISP. When I've been around to witness this,
pppoe has reconnected eventually.
However, sometimes pppoe just seems get wedged and stop retrying.
Does anybody else see this too?
I remember such behaviour back to the days when I had DSL with dynamic
addresses, this is 1y+ ago. The outages appeared to occure absolutely
random and had nothing to do with the 24h renewal cycle.
Since I have DSL with static IP, no more problem.
