Anyone have some pppoe server crash with 350-400 online users ?
One of our server, will crash every one or two day…
Other server with less then 300 customer works fine.
Server was L5.
Any idea ?

2

whats the hardware specs of your server?? 400 users should have a 1g processor with atleast 512 RAM.

3

amd 2ghz, 512mb ram

I would say you have a hardware failure on that server, perhaps cooling or PSU problems. What is the CPU load?

Have a Mikrotik server with 2.5Ghz P4 with 512M RAM. Peak times excedes 400 active PPPoE sessions. Uptime 24 days and the last reboot was due to a Mikrotik OS update. No problems here. Says 378M total RAM and 328M free so PPPoE does not seem to use much RAM. I would test your RAM. http://www.memtest86.com/
