Is anyone using OpenBSD as the 'front-end' router on a UK fibre (FTTC) broadband circuit?
We are due to start trialling a 100Mb FTTC broadband and hope to use an OpenBSD box as the first stage router (i.e. to replace what the Home Hub would normally do). We know the presentation (from BT) is ethernet and we will need to use PPPoE. I guess kernel pppoe(4) is the preferred choice over userland pppoe(8), is that assumption correct? Despite much searching we have not found any mention of others having tried this. Can that really be the case or are we rubbish at searching archives, google etc.? We will have a block of 8 ipv4 addresses and native ipv6. Userland pppoe(8) mentions ipv6 support but pppoe(4) does not. Neither mention configuring for a routable block of ipv4. I see also npppd but as it's not (yet) being built by default I assume it's not considered ready. If anyone has done any of this or has any hints or tips I would love to hear about it. Thanks all, Percy.
