Ethernet over IP …not just another GRE tunnel! • • • Transparent layer 2 transport Presents as a virtual Interface to Router. OS Carries Ethernet frames Can bridge it Can route it Can firewall filter it NAT it Queue it Bond it

Ethernet over IP …some limitations! • • requires routable path (avoid NAT!) proprietary Mikro. Tik (? ) watch out for MTU on carrier network only(!) 65536 unique tunnels

Ethernet over IP …easy to implement! • Router A • remote-address (IP of Router B) • tunnel-id (0 – 255) • Router B • remote-address (IP of Router A) • tunnel-id (matches other end)

Example 1 Connect to Remote Hotspot

Example 1 Internet Gateways

Ethernet over IP Hotspots on Layer 2 WAN

Example 1 Hot. Spots use pppoe

Example 1 Remote/Mobile hotspots connect using pptp

Example 1 Concept: create Eo. IP tunnel across ppp

Example 1 Concept: bridge local wlan to remote HS Remote Router Local Router wlan 1 HS bridge eth 1 internet eoip HS bridge eth 1 internet

Example 1 Concept: bridge local wlan to remote HS Remote Router Local Router wlan 1 HS bridge eoip Eo. IP bridge HS bridge eth 1 internet
