Solaris 2.7 system configured with Free PPP 2.3.11 and SSH 2.3.0
(non-commercial version) from www.ssh.com.
For some time I've reliably used this system to connect to a remote
system using dial-up Internet access.
Using PPP to connect to ISP, SSH to remote site and tunnel PPP
through the SSH session I establish a secure point to point link
between the two systems.
With the availability of ADSL locally, I tried replacing the working
PPP -> ISP with RP-PPPoE 3.5 -> ADSL router via le0.
Using PPPoE and ADSL, general Internet access is great. Performance
over the SSH session is extremely poor and unreliable, even without
the 2nd PPP tunnel.
I note many references to setting the MTU size correctly and have
tried various suggested values without effect (le0 at 1500 and ppp0
at 1492, le0 at 1492 and ppp0 at 1492).
Anyone using SSH over a PPPoE link successfully ?
Does Solaris 8 PPPD (PPPoE) play better with SSH ?
Any help, advice and info welcome.
Paul.
