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 that in mind.

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 individual subnet so that they are all routed back to your
PPPoE concentrator / router in your office. I would think this would
address many of the client to client radio traffic concerns of CALEA
without changing any APs. Isn't this a fix for that one concern? Does
that make sense? If not then why not?
I like the idea of easily managing my accounts for turning them on or
off for non-payment and automatically setting bandwidth rules. I use
Radius in a big way for my existing dialup customer base and this
sounds like the berries to me. I welcome other thoughts from those who
are using or considering using PPPoE or similar techniques. Any
alternatives which work better?
Happy Easter guys and gals,
Scriv
