Multicast over VPN (PPTP)
« on: July 12, 2003, 01:27:57 AM »
Has anyone tried to pass multicast packets trough a PPTP tunnel?

My ISP does not route multicast packets, so I need to stablish a VPN PPTP tunnel to my SME. PPTP is the only GRE VPN metod that allows multicast to go over.

Does anyone knows how to configure SME to let broadcast the multicast UDP packets trough the VPN tunnel. Do I need a new routed installed on my SME?

Thanks to all , and in  particular to the ones that could help me in this subject.....
