Hello, After upgrade of the Linux kernel to 2.6.31 (and newer) pppd dies when there is high number of simultaneous connection to the Internet. I'm using pppd version 2.4.5 with rp-pppoe plugin and ADSL link is setup with (ADSL USB modem): br2684ctl -c 0 -b -a 8.35 Config file is: user xxxxx remotename xxxx plugin rp-pppoe.so nas0 noipdefault defaultroute replacedefaultroute persist noauth pap-restart 6 pap-max-authreq 5 mtu 1412 debug and pppd is started with command: /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach call dsl Log file shows that: Jun 29 10:52:53 fx pppd[9184]: rcvd [LCP EchoReq id=0x4c magic=0xbb76f5af 70 89 b9 15] Jun 29 10:52:53 fx pppd[9184]: sent [LCP EchoRep id=0x4c magic=0x7089b915 70 89 b9 15] Jun 29 10:53:04 fx pppd[9184]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x76 magic=0x7089b915] Jun 29 10:53:05 fx pppd[9184]: rcvd [LCP EchoReq id=0x4d magic=0xbb76f5af 70 89 b9 15] Jun 29 10:53:05 fx pppd[9184]: sent [LCP EchoRep id=0x4d magic=0x7089b915 70 89 b9 15] Jun 29 10:53:14 fx pppd[9184]: rcvd [LCP EchoReq id=0x4e magic=0xbb76f5af 70 89 b9 15] Jun 29 10:53:14 fx pppd[9184]: sent [LCP EchoRep id=0x4e magic=0x7089b915 70 89 b9 15] Jun 29 10:53:22 fx pppd[9184]: rcvd [LCP TermReq id=0x2] Jun 29 10:53:22 fx pppd[9184]: LCP terminated by peer When there are few downloads active (without any bandwidth limiting) all is fine but when there are a lot (ten to twenty) HTTP sessions started at the same time link dies. With Linux kernel version 2.6.30.3 (and older) it was very stable (even months), but with all new versions problem occurs. I think that that is the kernel driver problem and not pppd problem but I'm not sure, and I hope that some of the kernel ppp developer/maintainer are subscribed here and can help to solve that problem.
