You're generally right, infidel, however I can't say that it seems to make much of a dent in the router I have here. It can handle Cut-Through Forwarding / NAT Acceleration level 1 with PPPoE.
Who knows, evidently someone decided it'd be a good idea to implement PPPoE encapsulation and decapsulation in hardware and added it to the NAT acceleration.
I believe there are some other consumer routers that do so, too.
