Honestly, PPPoE is too frustrating and inelegant for me to be curious about it. 😖
Just tell me this: is it realistic to hope that I'll ever get IPoE service from another ISP ever again, or should I be resigned to losing it eventually?

@argv_minus_one @louis my old ISP did not do any PPPoE. IPv4 was static, IPv6 was plain DHCPv6-PD.

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org idk to be honest :neocat_think: it really depends on what the ISP wants to achieve and their architecture I've seen ISPs (in my country at least) phase-out PPPoE in favor of IPoE, keeping the former as part of their legacy infra. Two major french ISPs are now using IPoE with DHCP (for both v4 and v6), and I believe the rest of them are as well, but I can't say for sure without digging documentation @erindesu@tech.lgbt
