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

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.

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

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
end-to-end very efficiently

We are beginning a PR campaign to enlist the help of our local, state and
national representatives into supporting the need to set aside bandwidth in
the whitespace frequencies for wireless broadband. Loudoun County in

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

This builds trust with my clients.

I was customer number 1 on my network. I still use my own connection to

Agreed. I was the first customer on my service, too...only game in town,

for the CEO not to use his own service. I'm saying that it's not that
Not all owners are fortunate enough to be able to get their own service. I

We use our own service which supplies just over 250 users spanning 120
km of the Robson Valley in BC. I cannot stress enough how important
that is to be able to see problems immediately and not just be taking
calls to describe the situation. We are more fortunate than most in
that we also write

The most fun I have is using my own connection. I always want to make it
better and drool over how fast it is. Sort of like a gear head of broadband

However, we also have a CableOne connection at our office for testing
