The PPPoE/PPP section also includes Start and Stop buttons; use these buttons to start
or stop a PPPoE session.
The PPP section includes the following PPP client parameters:
• User name for authentication and Password for authentication — Specify the user
name and password for login to a remote ISP network
• Interval for LCP echo request — Specify how often Echo-Request messages are sent
on idle links to check the viability and integrity of the link.
• Maximum LCP echo failure retry — Specify the maximum number of times to retry
sending the LCP echo request if no replying packet is received.
• Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) — Specify the maximum transmit size for a PPP
packet.
• Van Jacobson compression — Disable or enable Van Jacobson TCP/IP header com-
pression. (By reducing the size of the TCP/IP headers to as few as three bytes, Van
Jacobson compression can be a significant improvement on slow serial lines, par-
ticularly for interactive traffic.)
At the Subscriber level, the read-only PPPoE/PPP Configuration page shown in Figure 6-27
