[c-nsp] Bridging over PPP

[Ross Halliday]

Just throwing this out here, but why are you bridging PPPoE customers which supposedly 'terminate' on the 7201? Why not L2TP LAC/LNS? With your 7201 acting as a LAC you can push the tunnels anywhere IP will go. Bridging IMHO is a nasty thing that should only be used where strictly necessary.
