Hello,

The FTP becomes slow with PPPoE connection between
a linux PC running rp-pppoe client and another linux pc running rp-pppoe server.
With the same setup without PPPoE the speed is good.

Scenario 1 : Direct connection, back-to-back LAN.
2MB files takes 0.03 seconds for FTP
on 10Mbps ethernet link.

============ LAN1 LAN1 ==========
Linux PC |-------------------| Linux PC
| |
============ ==========

Scenario 2 : PPPoE connection between PCs.
2MB files takes 10.7 seconds for FTP
on 10Mbps ethernet link.

============ LAN1 LAN1 ==========
Linux PC |-------------------| Linux PC
rp-pppoe client | |rp-pppoe server
============ ==========

Setup details :
Usermode RP-PPPoE version 3.5
pppd version 2.4.2
linux version 2.4.22
MSS = 1412 bytes (tried 1000 bytes)
MTU = 1500 bytes (tried other values like 1000, 512)

PPPoE is invoked as
/usr/sbin/pppd pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe" \
file "$PPPD_OPTIONS" \
debug > /var/log/pppoe.log &

and contents of PPPD_OPTIONS file is as follows
#########################################
nodetach
plugin /nn/lib/gap_ppp_plugin.so
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
refuse-mschap-v2
crtscts
debug

Please share your thoughts and experiences

Thanks
