PPP over Ethernet

Hello there,

I am thinking about implementing PPPoE for one of our clients, so the
question that I want to ask is this:

– what’s the most “theoretically correct” way of implementing it
using NDIS 4/5? (intermediate driver? miniport?)

Thanks in advance,

Most theoretically correct is intermediate driver, since
an NDIS intermediate driver is any NDIS miniport that
talks to something that isn’t hardware at the bottom.
(IE Another NDIS miniport, WDM, or something else)

That assumes you’re implementing PPPoE in software.

And unless you want to buy into a hell of a lot of
trouble, only do it for Win2K. Or at least, that’s what
I’m finding.

Probably NDIS intermediate driver. There is already a free implementation:
