Re: MLPPP on WRT54G/Tomato, progress report (with download) I originally asked the Tomato guy for MLPPP support ages ago, he never even replied. So I don't think I'll bother trying again now that we did it for him :P
DSL_Ricer mentioned a correction I should make, while he took the pppd from Debian mips, he compiled it against OpenWRT due to library reasons.
I also realize that I'm violating the GPL here, but hopefully nobody will mind until we actually have time to post sources. Right now, I'm late for class, and after class, we're going to get back to work on getting this integrated with the UI. Again, hopefully nobody will mind if we're a bit late with source... |

| said by Guspaz:I also realize that I'm violating the GPL here Barring reproduction of the content of the GPL that's supposed to be distributed with the binary, you only have to provide the source if they ask. So you're not yet really breaking the GPL. |

| Nice work guys!
Also there seems to be quite a bit of activities (16+ pages of long discussions) on Dual WAN and beyond over at DD-WRT forum too. It is mostly scripts with routing traffic and no mlppp.

Rumor has it is that multiple wan trunking is being worked on for V25 release.

Thankfully, there is a bit of headroom in the WRT hardware.  The following is old v23 SP2 in WRT54G v3.1/GL benchmark, but still interesting read:
»dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?···54f2704c
Ethernet switch alone:70 Mbit/s
NAT: 30 Mbit/s (GL), 21 Mbit/s (G v3.1)
PPPoE + NAT: 23Mbit/s (GL)
RP-PPPoE + NAT: ≈ 6 Mbit/s (GL)
WLAN (WPA2) : 24 Mbit/s
PPPoE + NAT + WLAN (WPA2): 16Mbit/s at least (GL, see below)
RP-PPPoE + NAT + WLAN (WPA):4.6 Mbit/s (GL)
Don't worry too much about GPL at this early stage as long as you guys are intending to provide source to the Tomato project. |

I assume RP-PPPoE refers to using rp-pppoe.so with PPPd (which is how we're doing it)... I find it questionable that it would only be able to do 4.6mbit/s with WPA (or 6mbit without), but we'll have to see for ourselves. I find it difficult to believe that pppoecd is that much less efficient than pppd.
I don't know if we intend to provide the source to the Tomato guy; he has shown no interest to date in communication, and I don't intend to go out of my way to get in touch with him. We'll post the source, surely, and maybe even send him an e-mail, but I'm not going to pester him to notice my existence. |

| That is a very old post (2006), so RP-PPPoE they are refering to is 2004. Hopefully, they have improve it since.
On page 2 of the link:
>Regarding the rp ppoe module...
