But there's no tried and true method of determining that information?

You mention at least three methods of mangling PPP with Ethernet/ATM.  And the 
overhead of each kind of setup also would vary depending on the specifics of 
that setup?  (i.e., knowing you have bridged PPPoE doesn't instantly qualify 
you as having an overhread of 123i.)

Sounds particularly complicated.

But the overhead would be a fixed cost, no?  If that is the case you can play 
whack-a-mole with that until you find a 'good' number.  But, as I see it, 
without a realtime ATM cost scheduler, even if I figure out my true 
'overhead' it won't make much difference.

Thoughts, anyone?
