Anyone know if it's possible to interleave two IP packets when using PPPoA and VC based lines? Can it be done with any PPPoE implementations?

I think pppoa/e is irrelavent it has to be done at ATM level which means you need a different VPI/VCI on the cells to distinguish them.

In the UK if BT/Some LLU teleco would let me have two different VPI/VCI s then I could probably do it. My PCI modems' drivers have code to interleave/priorotise at cell level.


The goal is to reduce the delay when you have a high priority packet waiting, but a lower priority (large) packet already started going out ahead of this packet. I don't want the overhead of much smaller MTU, which is the other way to workaround it...

Having the code to hack I did wonder whether as a kludge it would work if transmitting a long train of cells belonging to the same aal5 frame was just aborted to be retransmitted later when a shorter frame arrived... as long as the other end didn't count all the trashed frames and use it to disconnect/try to resync.

Are you really using something that makes +45ms too much or just wanting to tweak?

Andy.
