based on the existing net/if_spppsubr.c stuff. While there are completely userland (bpf based) implementations available, those have a vastly larger per packet overhead thus causing major CPU overhead and higher latency. On an i386 base router, running a 486DX at 50MHz my line (768kBit/s downstream) was limited to something (varying) between 10 and 20 kByte/s effective download rate. With this implementation I get full bandwidth (~85kByte/s). This is client side only. Arguably the right way to add full PPPoE support (including server side) would be a variation of the ppp line discipline and appropriate modifications to pppd. I promise every help I can give to anyone doing that - but I needed this realy fast. Besids, on low memory NAT boxes with typically a single PPPoE connection, this implementation is more lightweight than a pppd based one, which nicely fits my needs. |
