It explains how Layer 2 tags affect Ethernet frame size separately from IP MTU and describes overhead calculations, including cases where fragmentation can be avoided. ### Source excerpt Ever wondered what the effects of different combinations of PPPoE, GRE, and others have on the MTU of a packet? I am excited to announce the first of many J2 Network tools: the J2SW MTU and Encapsulation Calculator. You select the service MTU and the encapsulation used on the path. The calculator then works out ... Read more The post Introducing the J2sw MTU and Encapsulation Calculator appeared first on Justin Wilson (j2sw). ## What Is IPoE? DevFeed: [What Is IPoE?]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: j2sw Published: 2026-07-24T12:15:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Justin Wilson (j2sw)]() Topics: [DHCP](), [Ethernet](), [Networks](), [Protocol (disambiguation)](), [gateway]() Tags: [broadband](), [dhcp](), [dns](), [ethernet](), [ipoe](), [mtu](), [network-operations](), [pppoe](), [router](), [vlan]() ### AI overview This article explains IPoE, or IP over Ethernet, as an access model in which a customer router uses DHCP to obtain an IP address and network configuration directly, without establishing a PPPoE session or storing login credentials. It describes DHCP relay and Broadband Network Gateway processing and outlines subscriber-identification methods such as VLANs, access ports, DHCP Option 82, circuit identifiers, ONT details, and MAC authentication. ### Source excerpt 4 minutes read time.Many of us ISP veterans are familiar with Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), also referred to as Triple P O E. PPPoE is showing its age. It showed its age 15 years ago. DHCP was the simple fix for modern networks. It had less overhead and was simple. Now along comes IPoE. ...

It describes the required KPN VLANs, multicast and IGMP proxy setup, DHCP option 60, and a Linux script that can run even on a Pi Zero. The author notes that the instructions were updated in June 2026 and includes a factory-reset tip. ### Source excerpt Ik ben een heel tevreden klant van KPN Internet. Om diverse redenen gebruik ik de Experia Box niet, maar ik wil wel graag TV kunnen kijken met de KPN Interactieve TV Set Top Box ("5202"). Vroeger ging dat "vanzelf goed", tegenwoordig is daar wat werk voor nodig. UPDATE Juni 2026 (na 5 jaar!): de instructies werken weer, er is een update geweest in het igmpproxy.conf bestand. Ook heb ik een tip toegevoegd hoe de ontvanger terug te brengen naar fabrieksinstellingen, wat bij mij recent nodig was. ## Orange FTTH and IPv6 - part two DevFeed: [Orange FTTH and IPv6 - part two]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Marek Published: 2023-03-31T22:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Marek Majkowski]() Topics: [Linux](), [Debian]() Tags: [debian](), [guide](), [ipv6](), [linux](), [pppoe](), [router]() ### AI overview A follow-up guide explains how to configure a custom Linux router for Orange FTTH with both IPv6 and IPv4. It describes why using two PPPoE sessions no longer works and presents the Funbox-compatible approach using an IPv6 PPPoE session and an IPIP DS-Lite tunnel. ### Source excerpt Orange FTTH and IPv6 - part two Three years ago I published a guide on how to configure a custom Linux router to work with Orange FTTH setup: The most important part was getting IPv6 working, since it wasn't possible with the "Funbox" router supplied by the carrier. This seem to have been fixed. In past when using "Funbox", and when setting the PPPoE username suffix to "/ipv6" to enable IPv6, the suffix was automatically dropped every ~24h, and reverted to IPv4-only. ## Orange FTTH on a custom router DevFeed: [Orange FTTH on a custom router]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Marek Published: 2020-08-01T22:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Marek Majkowski]() Topics: [Network Configuration](), [Debian](), [Network](), [Firewall](), [DHCP](), [huawei]() Tags: [debian](), [dhcp](), [firewall](), [ftth](), [huawei](), [interfaces](), [internet](), [iptables](), [ipv4](), [ipv6](), [mikrotik](), [network](), [pppoe](), [router](), [server](), [vlan]() ### AI overview A tutorial describing how to replace Orange's FunBox 3.0 with a custom Debian router for Orange FTTH in Poland. It covers obtaining an ONT and PPPoE credentials, configuring VLAN 35 and PPP, setting up iptables, and providing DHCP for the local network. ### Source excerpt Orange FTTH on a custom router Here in Poland, Orange has a decent FTTH offer - less than $16 for 300Mbit down, 50Mbit up. People reversed it over the years, most impressively Pierre Kim in 2016: Recently, it has been possible to replace the router the provider gives, called "FunBox 3.0", with a custom one. There are couple of reasons for that: - My understanding it's impossible to get a stable IPv6 on FunBox 3. - FunBox is proprietary and evil.
