Title: PPPoE; IPoE; low power multi-threaded devices
Post by: dave on March 19, 2023, 01:31:07 pm

Been looking for a fibre provider who doesn't use PPPoE.

Toob (UK) said they use IPoE.

From what I've read this is not an encapsulated protocol, using DHCP options for auth.

Just wanted to checked if IPoE's an issue with BSD based routers, like the single threaded PPPoE daemon is?

Are there other issues that could impact performance or limit functionality?

Hi

Apologies for the delay (I've only just seen your post)...
I have been successfully using Toob (900Mb up & down - fibre) since December 2022.  It's my only wan connection from my OPNsense firewall.
IPV4 configuration was easy (DHCP).  The biggest challenge was finding out what Toob expected for IPV6.  Their help desk was completely unhelpful, so it was a matter of deduction from the configuration of their supplied router.  I got there in the end.
One gets a /64 (via DHCPv6) for the wan connection, and a /56 for one own consumption.
