Re: pppoe slow on openbsd
2006/10/20, Vijay Sankar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: FWIW, OpenBSD PPPoE implementation has been more robust for me than anything else I have used, including Windows, and I have used it since OpenBSD version 3.0 -- userland initially and later kernel-mode. I am not sure whether there are better ways to configure this but all I had to do was create hostname.pppoe0 with the following lines. You may want to read the documentation more thoroughly. pppoedev de0 !/sbin/ifconfig de0 up !/usr/sbin/spppcontrol \$if myauthproto=pap myauthname=username myauthkey=secret !/sbin/ifconfig \$if inet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 netmask 0x !/sbin/route add default 0.0.0.1 link1 up Note that things have changed in 4.0. hostname.pppoe0 now looks like this : !/sbin/ifconfig ne3 up inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.1 pppoedev ne3 authproto chap \ authname AUTH authkey PASSWORD up !/sbin/route add default 0.0.0.1 Bruno.

Re: pppoe slow on openbsd
first, I do understand your frustration. however, none of the developers has the obligation to change the situation, and _maybe_ there is simply not enough manpower/access to some strange combination of haradware and a specific dsl service. if you followed the list in these years you surely will understand this. On 10/20/06, Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The pppoe dial error (userland) "cant assign requsted address" after 4 major OpenBsd releases didnt go away. Noone cared to address the situation and of course the same old answer "diferent isps use diferent pppoe implementations" was the easy answer to leave the question unanswered. this answer is true nevertheless The 90% of home office internet conections are have to do with pppoe crapy dsl implementetions at least here in Europe. I'm in europe too, and connected openbsd routers to a broad variety of dsl services since OpenBSD 3.1. So from the openbsd 3.4 release I have instaled Openbsd as a router (suggested by me) to different small offices succesfully and despite the Openbsd pppoe risk that these boxes will never see the Internet world. which could've several reasons, _one_ of them openbsd's pppoe not supporting this special implementation. there are cheap devices out there capable of that, which could be plugged in front of the router. it costs slightly more than whithout, but saves a lot of frustration compared to not being able to connect the router to the internet. So 3.5 -> 3.6 -> 3.7 -> 3.8 and now I am afraid to tell my clients to update. No matter what usefull things the new releases have if I can not conect them to the Internet the only option is to call microsoft to apply for the licencing program... if you think thats your solution, off you go! I am so disappointed with this, as every now and then in these years I read posts in the list, from the newbie trying to install an openbsd box for the first time, as users that are very familiar with openbsd like myself, crying out "the pppoe implementation in openbsd is broken". why would you come to this conclusion? because you are one of the few which have either a really crappy dsl service or are incapable reading the man pages? An answer to all these people: IS PPP OPENBSD IMPLEMENTATION BROKEN? YES IT IS NO MATTER WHAT YOU READ IN THE LIST. YES IT IS AND NO ONE CARES. YES YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG IN YOUR CONFIGURATION, THE ERRORS ARE NOT THERE FOR DEBUGGING JUST FOR SEEING THEM. this is downright wrong. and rude. On openbsd 3.9 I can conect through pppoe(userland) to my ISP everything works fine but I can not download more than 250KB/s despite that my line is capable of 2000KB/s. In a 3.5 box same configuration same ISP I am capable of 2000KB/s. May I must downgrade? so actually it works? have you worked out the differences? I myself want to ask whats the meaning of an os secure and capable of tasks if I can not conect to an ISP using the way that 90% of Inernet users use in this world. does it connect or doesn't it? I needed to write this after 5 years of seeing the community to ignore the needs of its users. We have donated, support it and continue to do so. We have no right to demand things but I think we have the right to alert the community as definitily with this matter something IS DEFINITELY wrong. this is the best bug report of all times. I think that the 50% of Openbsd users use pppoe conections and I thing that the 10% of us use for example IPSEC. Despite that IPSEC works far better than establishing a dsl conection and download at proper rates. for me, it both pppoe and ipsec do work. a well as the other things i use: pf, apache, sendmail, ccd and a bunch of ports Will be a way to establish a dsl broadband conection from an openbsd gateway to an ISP without errors and problems ever in the future like the 99% of all other OSes (even those that are not deticated to networking as OpenBsd) CAN? OR NOT? your question is pointless, as openbsd does this already --knitti

Regardless of where the pppoe implementation is broken, have you considered DSL MODEM/routers with half-bridge mode? You can get them to take care of the PPPoE/A and then they just pass the IP traffic through to your OpenBSD firewall/router. The MODEMs you have now might already be capable of doing that for you. BTW, the MODEM does not perform NAT, so your firewall will still face the bare Internet. PS, you are really rude. Shane J Pearson shanejp netspace net au

Re: pppoe slow on openbsd
Hi, I don't understand your hunger. My home adsl router is OpenBSD driven and I have no problem using kernel pppoe for more than year (since 3.8). As I live on Reunion Island, I suppose my ISP conforms to european standards. I can play with my 2Mbps bandwidth with no trouble at all. Maybe you should read man pppoe(4).
