hi when calculating bandwidth requirements on DSL, does the DSL technology used (bridged,PPPoE,PPPoA,whatever) matter? Will PPPoE include Ethernet headers included in the user's purchased bandwidth? etc.. thanks roy
This will vary on the provider I think. Telenor in Norway at first did not calculate PPPoE headers in the purchased bandwidth. Later on, they changed their mind and increased the speed because of the PPPoE headers. The other followed this trend here in Norway, to keep up with the competition.
