This is probibly an old issue... but has anyone ever come up with a good explination of PPP offloading, and.. in what situations should I enable/disable it? I went through about 4 weeks of users connecting, verifying, then dropping. Out of panic I disabled PPP offloading on both arcs in the chassis and my phone has not rung in hours. The $64 question... what did I do? Why did it happen? The TCS 4.5 docs say that PPP offloading controls what card does PPP framing.. the ARC(?) or the modem/DSP(?)... and thats it. Can an ARC card handle 7 DSP's worth of PPP framing work? sho cpu utiliaztion showed all 0% util. Anyone got an idea on what happened?
