[Hampshire] Recommendations for a PPPoE Router for VDSL

2011-05-13 Thread Imran Chaudhry
Hi, I'm after some recommendations please for a VDSL router, the
requirements are:

* supports PPPoE (it's being used with Zen Fibre broadband)
* Non-NAT mode
* 8-ports
* business-grade, eg. something in the £50 - £150 range? and beefier
cpu and ram
* it would be nice to have features like 3G for internet failover

Thanks!

Your safest bet would be a routerboard, either the 750G or the 450G. 
http://linitx.com/viewcategory.php?catid=194 is probably the best place to get 
them from.

As I understand it, version 5 of RouterOS supports mini-jumbos over PPP, 
allowing full 1500 MTU frame, yes, over PPPoE :-) (1508)

They do NATless, as well as can native or tunnel IPv6.

They are not for the faint hearted, non-techie though.

The only thing it falls on, it is 5 ports. However, it will happy go lucky 
VLANs etc. 

However, failing that, the Draytek Vigor 2820 series might be of interest as 
that has pretty much everything all minus the 8 ports.
