Re: Cisco 3620 & PPPoE (cont., sorry for 2 replies)

Sorry for the double-post - I mis-clicked :)

IIRC, the 3600 series is rated for 200 simultaneous PPPoE connections, and does support user-specific profiles (you just send it the relevant RADIUS attributes like a regular dialup connection). Have not experimented with distinct upstream and downstream rate-limits - but if you can do it with standard dialup, it might work with PPPoE.

Just about any RADIUS server will work with the 3600, but you'll probably have to edit your dictionary file to add the attributes you need for rate-limiting (dunno if they are standard). We use Radiator (commercial Perl-based Open Source), and the (simpler) functionality we needed worked pretty much out of the box with a couple of minor tweaks.

Mind you, Cisco is not too keen on letting people know it supports PPPoE on the 3600 - they prefer to sell larger boxes and - in the wireless arena - flog you their """standard""" 802.1x ;)
