Can you link or elaborate more on this PPPoE problem? i have a UDMP on the way, and I don't think I'll be affected by it with my simple network design, but also not sure.
- InTheArena 5y agoIt's determined by your WAN provider. Centurylink and google, (AFAIK) leverage PPPoE connections, and the network traffic there seems to be limited around 600mb/s. I replaced the connection with a cable drop, which I get 1.2gb/s down on.
- toast0 5y agoPPPoE de-encapuslation is likely not hardware accelerated (or can't be combined with other hardware accelerated packet processing) or if that platform is more PC like than I thought, it may be that the PPPoE de-encapsulation is single threaded either as a missed software feature or because the nic can't separate it into multiple queues. PPPoE is one of the worst network protocols ever, and there's no reason it should have been implemented on fiber. I don't really understand why it was implemented on DSL either; maybe some bizarro way to try to prevent theft of service?
