<p class=MsoNormal>I’m really getting confused while adding firewall for DSL
subscribers. I want to protect my PPPoE subscriber from malicious traffic.
Adding a firewall between DSLAMs and BRAS is kinda confused for me. The final
topology is going to be like <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>From CPE to BRAS is PPPoE tunnel. The question “ Can
firewall protect PPPoE customers from malicious traffic while sitting in
transparent mode in front of BRAS”. I wonder , firewall will skip the PPPoE tunnels
traffic. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If yes, than how do you guys protect BRAS internal traffic
from one subscriber to another. <o:p></o:p></p>
