We were a mostly PPPoA shop, and were doing PPPoE on our FTTH but moved to DHCP because of our desire to move to v6 without waiting for the access vendor and to get rid of supporting that username/password combo. And DSL modems that we're replacing in the field we're moving from PPPoA to PPPoE because of Ethernet transport because I'm not as sold on RBE in a 7206VXR, even though I really could use the same Option 82 in the same way as we do for FTTH. VLAN-per-user seems like a lot of router config overhead, though I could be proved wrong if I misunderstand.

I'm meeting with a customer tomorrow (service provider, rural telco) and we're pitching they move to a PPPOE platform most likely. But to be fair, I'm looking to draw up a comparison so they are "well informed" of the pros/cons. Has anyone done this? <snip>
