Anything that auto-discovers devices or services is doing it by broadcasting otherwise unnecessary packets which have to traverse bridges. Appletalk, Netbeui and IPX are pretty bad, and IP does it a little bit. So, if you have a big office full of multi-protocol printers and similar devices with everything enabled you'll be sending a lot of traffic across a bridged link. If you have plenty of bandwidth it may not matter. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
