The premise that PPPOA is used to "prevent users from running their own servers at home" seems a bit unlikely. I am using this kind of connection and never had any difficulty running servers. ( 09:53, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Page move proposal

In line with my requested move over at Talk:PPPoE, I propose that this page should be moved to Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM, to make it consisent with Point-to-Point Protocol. — EagleOne\Talk 17:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the page has been moved. — EagleOne\Talk 01:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PPPoA - PPPoE Overhead Percentage Difference

From what I understand there's 8 fewer bits in a PPPoA Encapsulated Packet so the difference should be: 0.536% Anyone have any ideas, or care to explain where I'm going wrong?

Packet size is also smaller as the encapsulated packet must fit within ethernets MTU. This will also have a slight effect on efficiancy and more importantly will cause lots of issues with badly configured firewalls. Plugwash 15:51, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cisco Router example

Why is an example of Cisco Router config commands useful to the majority of the reading comunity? If fact why should we single out one particular vendor example? I believe this should be deleted and replaced with possibly more generic detailed information. Carl Pimblett 11:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
