Some people just want to have few computers at home connected and they run multiple PPPoE sessions. Remember, we are documenting a current reality here, not what we want to do in the future. > > How did multiple sessions work with IPv4.

If host with PPPoE is in question, you don't have to do static. Most bullet-proof today for network behind the CPE is static. Cheers, Jan
