I have tried this but it does not work.

Ehm, noy, VOD is unicast, because the  user  can  view  videos  whenever
she/he want.  Currently we do not know whether we  support  TV  channels
over IPTV.

I will see...  It seems, that even 96 FTTH ports with 100 MBit  each  do
not hit the limit of a 1GE  upstream,  so  the  now  I  could  test  the
"Sun Fire X4100M2" becaus it has four 1GE ports, which mean, I  can  use
one as upstream and then connect the three others to up  to  three  FTTH
DSLAMS...

Transforming a 1400 US$ Server into a pppoe server/router which has  not
more then 2 GByte of memory and the smallest CPU available.

This could work.

The X4100M2 is a Opteron

I know, the smallest Quad-Core CPU with 4 threads/core could be enough

I do not know whether the X4100 can boot from USB-Flash, but  it  seems,
a SATA/CF adaptor is working or even a very cheap SATA  HDD.  The  X4100
is not bound to SAS drives.

I will give it a try
