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]
