I heard the same suggestion from my friend, but to date I have found no explanation why it is so. Infact, it looks like PPPoE is better due to following factors: a) PPPoE allows you to connect more than one system simultaneously. b) PPPoE gives an 'always ON' connection whereas bridged connection gets terminated when your system is shut down. c) PPPoE reconnects automatically when link fails. Bridge doesn't. d) PPPoE also allows you to login automatically. Bridge requires login from your system e) In PPPoE mode, gateway acts like a firewall (no open ports). In bridged mode, the system is vulnerable. f) Slight increase in speed is reported with bridging, with no explanations whatsoever. Looks like they were predestined to judge the bridged mode faster. Looks to me like it is an unsubstantiated rumour or myth. Can somebody please throw some light on this?
