      Looks like VIP is the culprit, after I removed it, pppoe2 down worked, and up then brought it back up. So I guess wasnt just a VIP bug causing loops, but also one affecting pppoe termination.

      'if_pppoe: pppoe2: lcp close(initial)' is the only log entry with VIP removed.

        @ajtuk Forgot to ask, do you have any additional IP's added as virtual IP's on your install?

            @chrcoluk Yes, I have 3 VIP's setup. Also not had any drops for a good few weeks, but could just be that both AAISP and City Fibre have been stable.

              @ajtuk Yep I have not had any outages either, I updated to 2.8.1 then decided to test those commands as it was something I wanted to do to further diagnose.

              I think we may have found the reason then. Hopefully Netgate can repeat this.

                Yep. So to be clear you have IPAlias VIPs on the PPPoE interface?

                        issue related to fragments

                        What issue?

                        A little bit more info now as to why if_pppoe fixed it.

                        I think mpd tcpmssfix wasnt working properly, if_pppoe uses scrub instead for same feature. I did a little bit of testing with iperf and that reports a weird mss value when using mpd combined with tcpmssfix.

                        I havent however confirmed on the cloudflare icmpcheck.popcount test yet as site seems to be down now.
