As sad I am to write this, here's the real-life story...

Yes, Telekom Slovenije still runs PPPoE over their fiber network. I was
making fun of that 9 years ago (
http://blog.ipspace.net/2008/10/internet-access-russian-dolls.html) and not
much changed in the meantime.

Unfortunately, some people (including my father) believe that using PPPoE
from Windows is more secure than running it from the edge router (aka *modem
*because some people never saw a real modem in their life), so he's running
PPPoE from every Windows laptop he has in his house.

How does that work with iphones, android, etc. Do people bridge PPPoE to

Not sure about tablets etc., but that's exactly what he's doing (I think
that was the default setup his *modem *was shipped with anyway... years
ago).

How did multiple sessions work with IPv4. Did every session get its own

Yes.

No idea. I don't want to talk about that setup (because it's breaking down
for him occasionally with Windows 10), let alone touch it. Maybe Jan knows
more ;))

Hope this doesn't make you depressed...
