that's ok, I don't mind direct communication between subscribers. This is 
value added service, so that they can use i.e. DC++ with the speed up to 
100Mbit/s
without additional load on router's interface.

As mentioned, I don't do that.

but then, as I'am not wrong - the communictaion is like 
subscriber-redback-subscriber, and no subscriber-subscriber any more ?

this sound's nice, but still have a question - can I assign /22 mask for 
subscribers ?

>But as I said above, your IPoE edge devices need appropriate securing.

this will be the next step, every subscriber's port will be secured.
