PPPoE (over Ethernet) ---> Ethernet max 1500 But I'm very curious if there are some non standards drafts over ethernet for such kind of applications ?
Chris >>> "Spiess Bernd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12.06.2007 18:00 >>> thanx for the suggestions - the mtu path discovery problem was the reason why i asked. fyi: here in austria we have own access to the copper from "telekom austria" (colocation/"unbundling") we have our own dslaḿs and our own selection of cpés - so we can build or configure whatever we like. actually we use static ip on a switched layer 2 vlan-trunk environment. if possible we want to avoid PPPoA because we are no atm people. as i understand you correct mtu 1492 under PPPoE is still an issue in the mentioned cases. has anyone tried to build PPPoE with an MTU 1508 infrastructure ? bernd -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fabian Wenk Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 12:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Spam] Re: [swinog] feedback on pppoe needed Hello Bernd Spiess Bernd wrote: > as i know many postings around the world regarding > pppoe mtu problems and advices to customers to > reduce mtu on their clients down to 1492, i wanted The problems with MTU 1492 could be on other places, eg. if a web server admin decides to filter ICMP on his server which will prevent Path MTU Discovery to work. For example this can have the effect, that from a website (hosted on a server which does not get the ICMP messages) the HTML part arrived (smaller then 1500 bytes), but the corresponding pictrures do not. I did once write a paper about the ADSL MTU problem, see "Swiss ADSL with PPPoA (and MTU 1500)" [1] for more informations.
