Talk:Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM

The premise now in place is that PPPOA is used to "prevent users from running their own servers at home" seems a bit unlikely. I am using this kind of connection and never had any difficulty running servers. ( 09:53, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Page move proposal
In line with my requested move over at Talk:PPPoE, I propose that this page should be moved to Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM, to make it consisent with Point-to-Point Protocol. &mdash; EagleOne\Talk 17:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, the page has been moved. &mdash; EagleOne\Talk 01:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

PPPoA - PPPoE Overhead Percentage Difference
From what I understand there's 8 fewer bits in a PPPoA Encapsulated Packet so the difference should be: 0.536% Anyone have any ideas, or care to explain where I'm going wrong?


 * Packet size is also smaller as the encapsulated packet must fit within ethernets MTU. This will also have a slight effect on efficiancy and more importantly will cause lots of issues with badly configured firewalls. Plugwash 15:51, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Cisco Router example
Why is an example of Cisco Router config commands useful to the majority of the reading comunity? If fact why should we single out one particular vendor example? I believe this should be deleted and replaced with possibly more generic detailed information. Carl Pimblett 11:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

PPPoA in Australia
I believe that some, but not all, ISPs in Australia offer both PPPoA and PPPoE. 04:36, 22 April 2009 (UTC)~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.7.155.64 (talk)

Edited sentence about configuration
I have edited the sentence about auto-configuration to make it easier to understand and read. It is a minor change which does not alter the meaning/contents other than reducing the complexity of the sentence. SplatMan DK (talk) 10:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Added reference
Added RFC 2364 by IETF as a reference (instead of only as an inline URL), and added the Note section to include the regular reflist. Should enable some admin to remove the warning about missing references. SplatMan DK (talk) 11:31, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Configuration - Modulation
Modulaton, such as G.dmt, has nothing to do with either PPP or ATM - it is a property of the ADSL modem. So it this article meant to be about the PPPoA protocol or how to set up an ADSL modem? 108.171.134.165 (talk) 03:33, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
