Yup Paul, you are exactly right. My issue is that I get mixed responses, even from Juniper re MLPPPoLNS. I know and have configured this on the E-series.... but want it on the smaller MX series so that I can deploy many to avoid latency and not have large central E-series routers.

If you wanted to "forward" that traffic to another provider (wholesale it out) then you might require LNS as a function as well. It sounds like your usage is similar to our usage to date - we own/operate our own DSLAM's therefore it's just "native PPPOE" for us. Be very careful on the software load you are running on the MX5 for this purpose - I would highly suggest working with your SE to find a stable and suitable software version.

We have just ordered some MX5 to have the opportunity to provide PPPoE for customers. What exactly is the meaning of lacking LNS support? If I understand correctly LNS is the possibility to provide a tunnel endpoint for a L2TP tunnel, sent from a provider, for example a DSL provider. The MX80(5) is capable of provide a PPPoE termination, if I have L2 access to the DSLAMs or access switches? Regards, Matthias Am 26.
