Ive followed a number of threads about PPPoE over L2TP and no one has gotten it to work in any of the threads.

Ive got a test setup Ive been working on for 4 days with no success.

Can it be done or not?

Is it even worth pursuing?

Ive been using PPPoE over EOIP for a while but I was looking for something more efficient and standards based.
Is L2TP more bandwidth efficient?

this would interest me also.

just use 3.x and bridge the l2tp tunnel. make sure the MRRU is > 1514 or so.

Ive tried all this. It doesnt work.

I can get as far as seeing PADI packets pass over the bridge, but the PAD0 never go back.

Ive tried MRRU as high as 1600. I set the server to 1600 MRRU, MTU and MRU 1460, the client is set to 1600.

Do you have a complete working config?

i dont use pppoe, just was testing it back then. does your l2tp tunnel show active in the bridge once its connected?

Ya the l2tp tunnel properly is in the bridge once it connects. I spend 4 days trying, and never could get it to work, and suspect its a possible bug in newer versions of mikrotik.

I never tried with RouterOS, but I have implemented PPPoE over l2tp-v3 with cisco.
