Pretty interesting stuff (see > the ijppp manual if you find it). ppp over tcp indeed works, but the performance and stability is pretty bad. the delay on your `physical' link and especially packet loss on it can render tunnelled ppp link pretty unusable. > I've seen a tunneling implementation over IP using the tun devices > as well (without the other stuff in ijppp) that Mark Newton > wrote (newton@dotat.org) I have used (hacked) ip-in-ip implementation available as http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=1154 with great success (compatible with cisco routers, too.) is there anybody else interested in ip tunneling protocols ? -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo.
