MPD: PPPoE and QinQ in a ISP xDSL aggregation

Dear all,

I just installed FreeBSD 9.2-RC2, recompiled the kernel, did some tuning, and installed MPD. It was my very first time, and I'm really impressed on the elegance and simplicity of the system. Thanks a lot to all software engineers working on this system.

After making PPPoE working in laboratory (DSLAM... backhauling... FreeBSD used as a BRAS), I was wondering about the best way to aggregate with this FreeBSD box a multitude of DSLAMs (so circa one VLAN for each COsiting where a DSLAM is placed, to do N:1 TR-101 aggregation).

Can MPD via Netgraph be "QinQ" aware, so I leave just the physical interface, and MPD processess all PADx he can see, both in tagged and untagged frames, or do I have to create N-subinterfaces, and include all the interfaces in the MPD configuration?

What's the best thing to do? Thanks in advance for any advice and... keep up the GREAT work :D
 
Hey, did you end up using FreeBSD as your BRAS software? I am in the same boat and looking for Cisco / Juniper or Redhat BRAS solutions (a third party package provider) but I prefer FreeBSD. However, there is not much out there that I see. We will be providing DSL, Cable, Fiber and all through third party wholesellers. Have you been successful at all?
 
Don't expect an answer any time soon. The OP hasn't been seen since he asked the question (in 2013).
