specified idle timeout value.
Idle Timeout – Specifies that PPPoA connection should disconnect if the link has no activity detected for the
specified number of seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On Demand feature. To disable the
timeout feature, enter a zero in this field.
Keep Alive – When the On Demand option is not enabled, this value specifies the length of time to keep the
connection from being shut down for inactivity by sending PPP LCP echoes to the PPP server. To ensure that the
link is always active, enter a zero in this field.
MRU – The Maximum Receive Unit the DSL connection can receive. It is a negotiated value that asks the
provider to send packets of no more than this number of bytes. The maximum specified value is 1500, although
some DSL/ISP providers require a larger value. The minimum MRU value is 128.
Enforce MRU – Check this box if you experience problems accessing the Internet over a PPPoE connection.
This feature will force all TCP traffic to conform with PPP MRU by changing TCP Maximum Segment Size to
PPP MRU.
Debug – Enables PPPoE connection debugging facilities. Debugging is talked about later.
