I've been digging through all this documentation on TPI, DLPI, sample
code, etc., to finish the design and implementation specifics for
enabling our USB Ethernet driver (which is really ATM for ADSL) to
support PPPoE and PPPoA. A big source of information is the OT Advanced
Client Programming. However, we just had a design meeting and the
following was brought up. What about taking the route of implementing
the PPPoE and PPPoA support as a modem driver. The ethernet framing
required in the PPPoE case isn't a big deal - but this would eliminate
the whole TPI to DLPI translation that has to be done. Am I missing
something - or would this approach be a much simpler solution?
Thanks,
