摘要

In the year following the publication of the PPPoE protocol muchoperational experience and customer feedback was gathered. Oneproblem that access providers usually mention is that in order forusers to change ISPs or Service, they need to manually disconnectand reconnect their PPPoE clientAnother related problem is that to add a new PPPoE session to someother ISP or for a different service, users also need to manuallyconnectWe propose here a extension to the PPPoE protocol in which through anew packet type a access concentrator can request a PPPoE client todisconnect and reconnect or to connect to a new ISP or Service in amanner transparent to the user.
