STOP DOING PPPoE There were no layers supposed to be between L2 and L3; YEARS OF DSL yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for anything but DHCP. Wanted to connect to the internet over ethernet? We had a tool for that: It was called RFC2464. "Yes please give meCHAPof something. Please give me IPCP of it” - Statements dreamed up by evil wizards. LOOK at what network providers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the wires &RFCS we built for them. (This is REALPPPoE done by REAL network providers ping: sendmsg: Message too Long; ping: sendmsg: Message too Long; ping: sendmsg: Message too Long; “Hello I would like MTU 1492 please"; They have played us for absolute fools
