We're doing this with Cisco 65xx switches. Each tower comes in as a separate vlan, we do the PPPOE at the switch. We restrict all traffic from the towers (except to/from private IP management interfaces) to PPPOE. We use Radiator Radius with MySQL as a database backend. ~1500 PPPOE connections currently. We do all rate limiting on the switch as well. We have not done anything with IPv6 yet.
