Re: How to setup a PPPoE Server?



Hello Seth and Wojciech,

I am reading  the  <http://www.freeantennas.com/PPPoE-Server-HOWTO.html>
and the author is writing about the same...

He is talking about 2 MHz on the CPU and 2 MByte  of  memory  per  PPPoE
connection but it seems there is a bug if ppp must handel more then  254
clients.

Since I can have up to 6 WaveLAN  channels  (each  arround  3 Mbit)  per
location in parallel and the customers will have 3/1 or 6/1 Mbit  access
results in 300 to 600 clients...

Hmmm, I have some VIA EDEN MiniITX (Dual-Ethernet  1000 Mbit,  1400 MHz,
2 GByte of memory) and I can try something.... but how  to  install  the
rp-pppoe redunant?

I do not understand this part...

I think, my VIA Eden will do it (and consuming very less energy)
