Hello What are the best combination of values for lcp-echo-interval, lcp-echo-failure, lcp-restart, lcp-max-terminate or other parameters, to protect a PPPoE link against ARP requests floods or UDP floods (generated by M$ SQL worms) wich cause PPPoE interface (ppp0) or pppd daemon to crash frequently ? ppp0 interface is connected to eth0, authentication is made using a combination of username/password. eth0 is connected to directly to ISP (which use a fiber optic network if it matter)
I am using the debian package to connect my router (running Debian Testing) to my DSL connection. The ppp daemon runs with its default parameters and I haven't seen any serious connection drops. From my experience, the daemon reconnects on an average (non-scientifically) every 2 to 3 weeks or so. Since the ARP and UDP floods that you mention are more or less constant, I would conclude they are not a problem to the daemon.
