PPoE Concentrator for DSL Service?

RouterOS General
1

We currently sell DSL and are using a Cisco 3600 router with a 4 port IMA card. Right now we are doing all the PPPoE services on the Cisco Router. But I would love to be able to move the PPPoE concentrator to a Mikrotik box. Now I’m aware that Mikrotik doesn’t have ATM support. But shouldn’t I be able to build the PVC’s on the cisco and bridge them over an ethernet to a Mikrotik box running a PPPoE server? Is anyone doing this? I really like the managability of the PPPoE on RouterOS; and would like to be able to easily implement QOS rules on a per user basis, among many other things.

I would say that as long as the mikrotik is in between the ethernet flow it should be able to find the pppoe on a bridged segment
