PPPOE over VLan Interfaces

[Samit Jana]

Hi EB, 

Thanks for your input .Basically the scenario and setup resembles, the only 
diff is I am trying to deploy it on Metro ethernet kind of topology which 
spans to multiple switches cascaded/trunked via optical fibre. 
The only thing that worries me is No. of simultaneous connection :(  but now 
pretty much confident though :)
