I guess the poster wants to connect two ethernet cards directly to each other using a crossover cable. This could save the ethernet overhead.could you explain how ppp encapsulating (etherh+payload) reduces the overhead?
Who says you need the etherheader? Its not ethernet, its a point to point connection in this setup.
Plus it would probably make for easier bonding of multiple paralell links. Could be interesting...buy a 100mb ether card.
Of course one would do this with 100mb ether cards. Dirk
