Re: Virgin Business Superhub now has Modem Mode

I hear what you say about PPPoE not needing a public routable IP address, but it would also work if there was one, and I wonder if it's purely since the VM infrastructure is setup top provide 1 public routable IP address to each device they just implemented that way.

I must admit I thought the tunnel was directly between the Superhub and the equipment within the VM network that provided the fixed IP end point. As qasdfdsaq says the superhub log contains entries relating to L2TP.

However I thought the reason VMB still can't offer fixed IP addresses on the 152 Mb/s service was their equipment has issues with PPP at higher speeds, which implies that it is PPP(oE) from the Superhub.

So a few differing views on how this works....
