Hello,

I would like to ask people using mpd about performance on particular hardware
setups. I am interested in the numbers of sessions (probably PPTP with weak
encryption) and total bandwith, that can be achieved with, e.g.:
. 300MHz CPU,
. 1GHz CPU,
. 2GHz CPU.
Won't PPPoE behave better than PPTP? (My goals are authentication and
performace.)
I guess poptop will be much slower and is not a good solution for bigger
setup (since it works entirely in userland)?
I'm talking about small ISP environment, about 100-200 simultaneous
connections over LAN, about 5-10Mbit/s total bandwith.


TIA,
