I've got a BuC 3.0beta2 box connected via PPPoE using DSL.
I'm wanting to implement single-physical-connection MLPPP but it's not
working, so at the top level I'm wondering if anyone has tried this
(MLPPP using one or more physical connections) and had success or failure?
Specifically for myself, I've tried to activate it by beginning with
adding the option:
mp
to my /etc/ppp/options file, but then my PPP connection does not
connect. The most striking message I get is this:
Jun 15 10:14:48 ssh pppd[17384]: Couldn't set MRRU: Inappropriate
ioctl for device
According to this very lucid post:
http://osdir.com/ml/ppp/2003-07/msg00061.html
this 'ioctl' error can be caused by the kernel option
CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK
having not been activated.
So I'm wondering if someone might be able to tell me if this kernel
option is active for the BuC 3.0RC2 kernel (Linux R50 2.4.33 #1 Mon Sep
4 15:52:08 CEST 2006 i686 unknown)?
(And if it's not active, is it possible that someone could compile me
one where it is?)
PS: You may ask: why my desire for a single-physical-link MP? It's
apparently one way to evade the bandwidth throttle of big brother (Bell
Canada). Notably Bell Canada is not my ISP, they are the incumbent local
carrier, mandated to share their physical last-mile copper ... so they
are my ISP's ISP, but Bell is throttling *my* traffic. Actually they
aren't throttling /my/ traffic, since I'm not a regular heavy downloader
I can't even get the throttle to activate on my traffic but I'm curious
about this MP feature and it apparently it can actually be done on a
single physical line ... so I'm just wanting to see if I can make it work.
