.... PPPoEoL2TPoIPSECoLANEoIPV6oRFC1149..... What a bunch of mean nasty ugly stuff. My Sonic.net connection is simply rfc1483 (IP packets on an ATM PVC with a standard SNAP header), and I think that's probably what SBC is delivering them. AT&T's business SDSL and IDSL circuits also work that way, and I think our business ADSL does too (definitely over Covad, but there may be some locations we can't get that); I don't know what the AT&T Consumer folks do, but it's nice to have a design that Just Works, and that leaves the IP issues to the ISP and doesn't have the ILEC/CLEC messing with MTU sizes for no good reason.
