Pros:

I get 10-20mbit/s on medium speed Intel PentiumII/III hardware. Good bang
for the buck.

Fairly easy to set up, and works thru NAT (common UDP packets that doesnt
mind being adress translated).

Cons:

You cannot traceroute thru the tunnel (packets seem to be dropped).

You cannot use OSPF thru tunnel.

MTU is 1432 (or something around there) might be a problem for some sites
(Path MTU Discovery must work).

I've sometimes gotten some weird problems that require bringing down the
tunnel (I just reboot of the machine) in order to fix. Happens approx once
a month or so.
