Re: [DSL] Modem Poisoning
ACK prioritization is just there in software in the 5100b, 4100, and 4100b modems. You can't disable it other than flashing to a generic modem software. I only know of versions for the 4100 modem, not the 4100b or 5100b.
The PPPoE client, on the other hand, can be moved to a router. This will increase the connection limitation on any one modem by maybe as much as double that as when the modem is making the PPPoE connection.
Whether that will solve your network wide connection problem, it is hard to say. If you could effectively double the number of connections each modem handle, I don't think that will be enough if the load balancer isn't balancing them across the modems.
If you want a lot of connections per user you will have to do that rather than balancing by bandwidth or you will have to have modems that allow a much greater number of connections, e.g. non-ACK prioritizing modems. |
