A pppoe question

I have a plain home broadband connection that uses pppoe.

When I ping or traceroute the IP address my broadand router shows that my ISP has assigning me today from a machine on the public internet, am I testing the wire all the way to my router or is the reply from equipment in the CO?

I think the answer is that it's an end-to-end test, but it's nagging me.

A test from outside, like

, should test all the way to your router. You could verify it by turning your router's ICMP reply function off (many routers have that setting).

AD,

You are pinging the dsl router - unless you are (1) running a PPPoE client on a connected PC or the dsl router is bridged and you have another router attached (running PPPoE) .
