No-one has mentioned the fact that the transact connection is asymetric.  10 times.  Not very good for servers.  Why?  Marketing decision?  Not technical. 

The other issue is that if you wanted to set up two pppoe connections, one to your ISP and one to the peer-to-peer you would have to be very careful you didn't route.
