James Carlson,
Reading your new book on ppp.  Great stuff!  I read with interest your 1
page "slam" on pppoE and wondered if you had any more recent thots on
it.  It seems like we are stuck with it out here in ADSL land as a
defacto standard, for better or worse. All SOHO routers pretty much do
it now, along with pppoA.  And the consumers have to add pppoE clients
to their PC if they don't have a SOHO routers - this can get dicey
sometimes.  I can understand why it was invented [existing ppp
infrastructures & existing ethernet LAN environments], and I can even
see some advantages  [multiple sessions and multiple service selection].

The biggest problem I see is the smaller MTU breaking some connections
when intervening routers don't allow MTU path discovery to work
[assuming it is turned on].
John
