LARTC - May 2005 - pppoe gateway under linux

Hello to everyone,

Can someone help me with hints on how to configure a pppoe gateway on
a linux box with 200+ clients behind it ?

I''ve read that user-space daemons give A LOT of CPU overhead.

I''m opened to ANY solution !

You can use rp-pppoe''s pppoe-server combined with the kernel pppoe
module.
You need to compile rp-pppoe and pppd with pppoe kernel support (not the
pppoe binary).
Works fine with over 500 clients on P4  2.4 GHz

How much traffic is passing trough this box via pppoe interfaces and how high 
is CPU load ?
