[c-nsp] Ethernet Authentication

[omar parihuana]

Hi,

Currently I have the same topology (with Axccelera fixed Wireless) but
instead of Routers I have Multilayer 3560 switches, after of read the
previous mails, I would know the architecture to bring to PPPoE
because I'm having a lot of problems with scalability.

Thanks in advanced...

Rgds.
