Anyway, looks like I can get decent download speeds (~40Mbits/s) using PPP with the Huawei donlge, but upload speed stinks (~8Mbits/s). With Windows I get only marginally better download speed, but the upload speed is many times better (~25Mbits/s). (numbers are just a single point measurement at my home - I assume the network can do better :-) > So I hope we eventually reach a world where we're not using PPP at all > anymore. I hope not, speaking with my ISP hat on :-) PPPoE gets us working dual stack regardless of any broken layer 2 devices between us and the customer. PPPoE gets us static routes to the customer without any other hacks than a simple Framed-Route RADIUS attribute. PPPoE doesn't have the problems you speak of, as they are mostly related to the serial framing.
