I'm pretty new to the ISP world so I hope this is a pretty basic question. I
have a Redback LNS which will be terminating DSL connections. I noticed that
a connection I made a couple of days ago is still active as far as the LNS
is concerned even though the modem/router was turned off a couple of days
ago.

I would have thought that this should have been detected at the PPP level
and the session would have been dropped. I can set an idle timeout on
subscriber sessions but I don't think this should really be necessary.

Any advice/suggestions?

Thanks,

Steve.
