Quite a bit of overhead. Good article here: http://blog.ioshints.info/2009/03/adsl-overhead.html Curtis Maurand wrote:
I don't understand why DSL providers don't just administratively down the port the customer is hooked to rather than using PPPoE which costs bandwidth and has huge management overhead when you have to disconnect a customer. I made the same recommendation to the St. Maarten (Dutch) phone company several years ago. They weren't listening either. That way you can rate limit via ATM or by throttling the port administratively.
Just a suggestion
