The ISP's equipment may be supporting both PPPoE and PPPoA.

It may also be that you need to send a IGMP join to get them to send the IPTV multicast stream, and somehow that is happinging with you do the DHCP. There are very few details here to know much about any of what is actually going on. > > regards, > Georg > > Am 13.01.2018 um 16:42 schrieb Eugene Grosbein: > > 13.01.2018 19:55, Georg Bege wrote: > > > >> Im looking for information if ATM bridging is (or was?) possible with > >> FreeBSD. > >> Basically its the same which is available in Linux for a long time now: > >> https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/8-br2684ctl/ > >> https://home.regit.org/technical-articles/atm-bridging/ > >> > >> I'd like to use FBSD as an gateway/router however, I've a strange kind > >> of IPTV+Internet over ADSL (no VDSL available). > >> > >> I've found natmip(4) so far, but Im uncertain if this is truly the right > >> thing... > > > > It depends on hardware you have.
