I am not a personal fan of PPPoE as I consider it just another layer of
complexity and failure for the network. A lot of people use it in the
US for user authentication and control though.
If I were starting out new, I would consider other alternatives to these
two problems. For wireless client
Scriv,
We use Redback for PPPoE authentication to around 15,000 subs. It's a
breeze for customer accounting and really simplifies routing static
IP's, subnets and private contexts. We are also in the VOIP arena where
PPPoE has failed us. PPPoE encapsulation will strip most of your QoS.
Keep
How so?

Keep that in mind.

Once you encapsulate VoIP in PPPoE then QoS is unavailable to any device
in the middle; which is where most of the bottlenecks in bandwidth are.
So you gain something and lose something more important.
We have moved all of our VOIP subscribers to DHCP w/ VLAN priorities
that are mapped to
so, ok, can't you use pppoe for just client - tower ? QoS them all
right at the tower sites...

You could, but I think your QoS would get very crippled. Each device
between your ATA/PC and core router/softswitch would need to be able to
read your QoS markings within the PPPoE encapsulation.
You simply cannot prioritize tagged packets within PPPoE encapsulation

why not use ap's that already have radius clients in them?

Are any of you running PPPoE on your client connections back to a PPPoE
concentrator? Is this a good approach? I have heard that one big
advantage of this is that you can setup Radius to set everything up for
authentication very easily and that you can set every client up as their
own
Scriv,
PPPOE is a great approach and is very affective, but it does have its
disadvantages as well. The only thing I don't like about it is you need to
have better than an average wireless connection. We try to do this on
every install any way, but stuff just happens sometimes after the install.
