I associate PPPoE with dial up modems. What is the use case of this today? Also, PPPoE has been around for a quarter century: why hasn't FreeBSD delivered on it? And how is a single thread not enough to fill a broadband pipe?

So many questions.

So DSL and maybe Fiber services. Ok, but ISPs provide or endorse some device to deal with the wire. At that point you're free to firewall your ordinary ethernet traffic with whatever you wish, no PPPoE involved, no?
