RE: CIPE windows ethernet?

CIPE 
is a VPN.? VPNs are designed to be run over the internet for the most 
part.? Internet connections tend to be relatively slow, T1, Fractional, E1, 
DSL, Dialup.? These types of connections are prone to band width 
issues.? As such you would be much better off not bridging traffic over a 
CIPE connection as it offers very little advantage.? You would be much 
better off spending a weekend changing the IP address of one side or the 
other 
of your CIPE locations and routing it as you should be 
doing.

I have 
never bothered looking onto?bridging as an option, or Windows as a 
client.? That being said it is possible to bridge over CIPE.? I 
believe it was done on linux with only some source code changes.? I suspect 
the performance hit would make a connection really really slow in most types 
of 
corporate environments.

  ethernet?
  Hello,
  ?
  I've read somewhere in the discussions that the 
  windows port of CIPE is actually based on a virtual ETHERNET 
  device.
  ?
  So would it be possible to make an ethernet 
  bridge with windows cipe?? I also came across this package, what would 
  happen if one were to use this together with cipe?

  look for ethernet bridge, ethernet packets are forwarded onto another 
  interface.? Might work with cipe?
