[j-nsp] Juniper BRAS

[Paul Stewart]

That's correct - if you have direct connectivity to the DSLAM's without the
need to carry l2tp then you don't need the LNS functionality.

If you wanted to "forward" that traffic to another provider (wholesale it
out) then you might require LNS as a function as well.

It sounds like your usage is similar to our usage to date - we own/operate
our own DSLAM's therefore it's just "native PPPOE" for us.

Be very careful on the software load you are running on the MX5 for this
purpose - I would highly suggest working with your SE to find a stable and
suitable software version.

Hi!

We have just ordered some MX5 to have the opportunity to provide PPPoE for
customers.

What exactly is the meaning of lacking LNS support? If I understand
correctly LNS is the possibility to provide a tunnel endpoint for a L2TP
tunnel, sent from a provider, for example a DSL provider. The
MX80(5) is capable of provide a PPPoE termination, if I have L2 access to
the DSLAMs or access switches?

Regards,

Matthias
