PPPoE over Ethernet over L2TP

Hi all,

Is the following configuration can work ?
1. End user with PPPoE clietn and Ethernet connection to HUb
2. Multiple PPPoE session connected to a Router via a shared Ethernet
3. Router connected to Remote BRAS via a IP Network (either a multi-hop network or IP VPN/L2TP)


PC1--PPPoE-\
PC2--PPPoE---HUB--Ethernet-Router--(IPVPN/L2TP)--BRAS
PC3--PPPoE-/

I don't see any problem, but it might depend on the router and / or the PPoet implementation.
I have 2 computers , both using PPoet connected to a dumb hub, connected to my DSL modem/router.

I hope this helps !

Hi Sysexpert,

Many thanks for your reply, but the things that i am not sure is the connection from the router to the BRAS.
The normal broadband implementation is a DSL router then a PVC all the way to the BRAS. i.e. it is a point to point layer two connection between the BRAS and the router.
What I want to know is whether a IP routed network, or more precisely... a IP/VPN L2TP tunnel will serve instead of the ATM layer 2 network.

Regards

Tom
does this mean that each PPPoE has its own endpoint on BRAS?
By which side is the PPPoE initiated, PC or BRAS?
Could you please describe a bit more detailed the BRAS side.

Hi Ahoffmann,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, each PPPoE  has its own endpoint on BRAS. The PPPoE session is initiated from the PC side just like the normal PPPoE/DSL connection.

Actually, what I would like to confirm is whether it is possible to build a broadband network by a IP/VPN instead of the normal ATM layer 2 network.

Regards

Tom

WindowsUpdate has new updates for .NET users; Details follow - Microsoft .NET Framework
The .NET Framework is a new feature of Windows. Applications built using the .NET Framework are more reliable and secure. You need to install the .NET Framework only if you have software that requires it.

For more information about the .NET Framework, see http://www.microsoft.com/net. (This site is in English.)

System Requirements
The .NET Framework can be installed on the following operating systems:
Windows 98
Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)
Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me)
Windows NT 4.0® (Workstation or Server) with Service Pack 6.0a
Windows 2000 with the latest service pack installed (Professional, Server, Datacenter Server, or Advanced Server)
Windows XP (Home Edition and Professional)
You must be running Internet Explorer version 5.01 or later for all installations of the .NET Framework.

To install the .NET Framework, your computer must meet or exceed the following software and hardware requirements:

Software requirements for server operating systems:
MDAC 2.6
Hardware requirements:
For computers running only a .NET Framework application, Pentium 90 mHz CPU with 32 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.
For server operating systems, Pentium 133 mHz CPU with 128 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.
Recomended software:
MDAC 2.7 is recommended.
Recommended hardware: For computers running only a .NET Framework application, Pentium 90 MHz CPU with 96 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.
For server operating systems, Pentium 133 MHz CPU with 256 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.

How to use -> Restart your computer to complete the installation. No other action is required to run .NET Framework applications. If you are developing applications using the .NET Framework, you can use the command-line compilers or you can use a development environment, such as Visual Studio .NET, that supports using the .NET Framework.

How to uninstall
To uninstall the .NET Framework: Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel (In Windows XP, click Start and then click Control Panel.).
Click Add/Remove Programs.

astaec, and what has this to do with l2tp?
Hi, ahoffmann, astaec pointed this to me and it was explained here:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?ta=commspt&qid=20287577
It was her way of helping bring old and forgotten questions back to the attention of the Asker in the hopes it would be a trigger to close old items, while adding some value for all participants.  The Power Search query she used to get the source listing fell short of expectations.

tomyu99 -->  Please update and finalize this question, as well as the same one you posted in another topic area which is this:

If tommyu99 does not respond in the next 7 days, please guide me with recommendations on closing this question.

Thanks everyone,

This was finalized today.  If Asker returns with clarification needs on your solution, please respond.
