Thanks for your reply. I'm would like this simplicity if I could keep same
functionalities I have in PPPoE. By functionalities I mean:
	- AAA 
	- Triple-ply services and classified accounting per service
	- Possibility to suspend a user service in case of over-quota
	- applying fair-share policies 

Do I have any option to have simplicity and same functionality together?
