Ethernet over ADSL: Difference between revisions

(add note)
== Disadvantages ==
 
* Privacy - the ISP, and anyone eavesdropping on the WAN circuit, will typically be able to see more info about what the subscriber equipment is doing. Those that care about this are likely to want their own equipment to protect it however.
* Packet header overhead - adding Ethernet frames will decrease the payload available.
* WAN loss effects more noticable - some subscribers may consider this an advantage.
* Diagnostics - customer may not see what the ADSL line statistics such as SNR are, if the CPE is to be transparent.
