[j-nsp] Juniper BRAS

[Liam Murphy]

Yup Paul, you are exactly right.

My issue is that I get mixed responses, even from Juniper re MLPPPoLNS.
I know and have configured this on the E-series.... but want it on the smaller MX series so that I can deploy many to avoid latency and not have large central E-series routers.

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
