Otherwise simply using normal routing will do just fine and is the way to go. If you don't absolutely need broadcast, you want it not to work! A broadcast level that's 1% background noise on a 100 Mbps LAN is 1 MBps and will completely swamp a 1 Mbps tunnel. Bridging on WAN links has always been rare, for good reason. You want a router between a WAN link (or tunnel) and a LAN to limit the traffic that gets on the WAN link. As I write this I have 7 users tunneled into our tunnel server, and 6 of those 7 are joined to the server's subnet. None of these tunnels are bridged. -- Dick St.Peters, stpeters@xxxxxxxxxxxxx |
