  a question  obsessed me for a long time.  "why my  pppoe connection to
internet has a max session time, even if every thing goes ok? "

From a provider's point of view, forcing a connection to re-establish itself
every few days means that if you ever have to roll out a change, you don't end
up with *That* *One* *User* who stays connected for weeks or even months with
the old parameters.
