Perhaps a different product like MRTG would be helpful.

So if PPPoA is framed differently vs. PPPoE vs. Ethernet, then my comment about changing the code in the area of the PPPoE fix is right... I know that with PPPoE, the "frame-mangling" (for want of a better term) is done by the software in the users PC (or the firewall/router). Simplified: The \ Internet ----CO=========ADSLmdm=====PC / or The \ Internet ----CO=========ADSLmdm=====Router------PC / Where ---- is regular Ethernet traffic and ==== are PPPoE frames I understand that the ATM traffic is between the DSLAM and the ADSLmdm, but that still doesn't say what the framing looks like for the end device. The RFC I quoted implies it's NOT just pure wire line Ethernet (padding so it divides nicely into ATM cells, etc.). It might look just like PPP in PPPoE, just need another frame-type constant on the case statement. Or it could have a totally different offset. I don't know We just need somebody w/ a PPPoA account to gdb and look at the frames, id the constants and offsets and pop in the fix.

Strauss III said: > Wait a sec - are you SURE about PPPoA??? Very. I personally filled in the order form and selected PPPoA because ADSL raw transport is, afaik, ATM so it seemed kind of pointless to wrap/unwrap ppp in Ethernet frames then ATM instead of just ATM. Besides, the problems reported by many people about MTU being exceeded on the pc<->modem link only happened to PPPoE users, so it was a good way to skip that mess 8-) > That's a very different protocol than PPPoE - at some levels... PPP > over ATM vs PPP over Ethernet and I don't think ntop understands the atm > frame. I guess it doesn't really need to, but I'm not sure: afaik, the Linux pptp-driver simply opens a connection to the dsl modem over ethernet and feeds this pipe to the normal ppp driver to use as "modem" tty. ATM traffic only happens on the telco side of the modem, which then strips it and passes it to the PC using GRE (this last bit is not entirely clear to me, maybe I should try to block GRE on that link and see if it bombs ;-) Andrea.
