[RP-PPPoE] rp-pppoe - would you use it for a companies commercial connection?

[Paul Young]

Hi,

I am finding under load that our side appears to stop responding to
ping keep alives. And so we disconnect and have a brief drop out.

When I say load the Linux machine itself is just fine in terms of load
so I think at this stage it could be load on the interface itself
(Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller in this case).

I'm clearly struggling to find a clear answer to how to how to get
running in kernel mode.
