While thinking about how to implement PPPoA on OS X, the thought
occurred to me that maybe the best route is to take advantage of what
Apple already provides for PPPoE. Theoretically, a network driver that
wanted to be PPPoA could simulate a PPPoE server's DISCOVERY packets in
order to get to a session state. Then in session state, the driver could
just strip off the ethernet headers from the PPPoE packets, encapsulate
whats left in AAL5 and bingo - PPPoA on a budget, 'cause the PPPoE
simulation code wouldn't be too complicated to write. Anyone out there
care to comment on whether or not they've done this and any gotchas that
might be encountered?
Thanks,
-Chris
