[AusNOG] Which NBN RSP are using PPPoE vs IP

[Nathan Brookfield]

You are restricted to PPPoE because AAPT tunnel switch the connections for NWB.

PPPOE is ridiculously easy and simple, I don't see the problem HAHA.

Why are you forced to use PPPOE ? you can use IPOE with NWB I'm pretty sure, if you think PPPOE is hard for NBN try doing IPOE, it's painful IMHO and that's why most people are doing PPPOE, plus they can just hook it into existing DSL systems so it reduces implementation costs and complexity.

Just my opinion though, I'm sure there will be plenty of other thoughts.

To all the NBN RSPs on list.

For NBN (FTTP and VDSL) subscribers are you using PPPoE to authenticate user CPE or straight IP/DHCP?

Correct me if I'm wrong but it would seem to me that Telstra and iiNet are the only NBN RSPs that use straight IP rather than PPPoE.

We are using AAPT's NWB which forces us to use PPPoE. This obviously adds both a network and support overhead and I'm wondering if there is any way to do straight out IP like Telstra and iiNet are doing. Interestingly it would seem that even TPG does NBN auth with PPPoE which seems odd given they and iiNet are one.
