PPPoE over EoIP ?!

banyezdemah · December 29, 2010, 12:20pm

Hi

I have 2 office in different areas. Both have 1 MikroTik router and have internet connection.
I want that users of the office #2 connect to the MikroTik router of office #1 via PPPoE connection.
I think I should first setup an EoIP tunnel between 2 MikroTik routers.

Am I able to setup such service ?!

Regards

If PPPoE is mandatory, then you need to create some L2 tunnel. EoIP is an alternative, but you’ll have too much overhead. However I recommend you tu read the following link: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:BCP_bridging_(PPP_tunnel_bridging)

When copying/pasting the closing bracket - the “)” - got dropped. Add it to the URL. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:BCP_bridging_(PPP_tunnel_bridging)

PPP has much higher overhead. Control protocol with authentication and negotiation, plus PPP frame encapsulation, it is also stateful, and can stop in case of packetloss or etc.
EoIP is plain stateless tunnel, which is more stable also, with only 28 bytes overhead (IP header + gre header).
