[c-nsp] PPPOE - 2821

[Skeeve Stevens]

OK... I need to try to understand by what you mean 'type of sessions'?

I'm talking about typical residential internet services, most of which are
between 512 and 2MB.

Traffic patterns would be consistent with what your typical user would do.

I am unsure how to evaluate the pps required per user based on this
scenario.

Well that would depend on how much data the sessions are pushing, is there
QoS or rate-limiting, max number of idb's available on router etc etc..

FWIW the 2821 can do 170k pps so you do the math based on the type of
sessions your landing on it.
