This rule logs only the first paket from new conections.
So i think its log not to many.
But you can test wiresharke for sniffing.

Ooops, sorry, my fault.
The MTU for PPPoA is 1472.
A ATM-frame is allways 64 byte. So the ethernet-frame must divisible by
64 byte without a rest (23 x 64 = 1472).
PPPoE take a 8 byte-header, so the MTU for PPPoE is 1492.
