Topic: FTTH with pppoe

[Jean-Philippe Pialasse]

Any of you have moved recently to fiber?
You might have seen that pppoe is probably used by your ISP, while not the most efficient approach.

They probably hide it with their own black box preventing you to so whatever you want with it.

From what I have seen in Canada, to get ride of their router / black box and having full speed, I had to:
- find the vlan they use (SME 11 accept thsi value on external interface)
- have a processor able to handle the load
- have a multi queue ethernet interface
- have pppoe handled in the kernel space rather than in the user space to handle cpu thread assigned with ethernet interface queue and handle the bandwidth (SME 11 now handle it this way)

What is you experience up to now with your provider ?

Hi Jean-Philippe,
Which is it ?
BELL, EBOX, Virgin, Videotron, ... ?
All, as you suggest ?

I am with Oricom, but as you might know most of fiber in Quebec/Canada is through bell using distributel.
