Abstract: Discovery schools in Jordan are connected in one flat
ATM bridge network. All Schools connected to the network will hear
broadcast traffic. High percentage of unwanted traffic such as
broadcast, consumes the bandwidth between schools and QRC.
Routers in QRC have high CPU utilization. The number of
connections on the router is very high, and may exceed recommend
manufacturing specifications. One way to minimize number of
connections to the routers in QRC, and minimize broadcast traffic is
to use PPPoE. In this study, a PPPoE solution has been presented
which shows high performance for the clients when accessing the
school server resources. Despite the large number of the discovery
schools at MoE, the experimental results show that the PPPoE
solution is able to yield a satisfactory performance for each client at
the school and noticeably reduce the traffic broadcast to the QRC.
