To build a PPPoE server, of course. 

PPPoE is a common requirement for a BRAS/BBRAS/BNG.  These are still used by 
some FTTH providers.

Given this, there may even be a client requirement for a VPP-based endpoint 
(v)CPE stack. 

One of the most requested features for pfSense is to fix the fact that PPPoE 
sessions run on a single core.

Note that they're specifically asking about PPPoE at 1gbps. 

Here's the associated bug:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4821

(Note that the bug is assigned to me.)

I'm not planning on fixing it for the FreeBSD stack, but we may attempt to 
address this with our stack based on VPP. 

There is a PPP implementation in vnet/ppp, how difficult could it be? :-)

(For those who don't know, we're rewriting a lot of "pfSense" leveraging VPP.)
