I disagree slightly. With L2 you have broadcasts and non-routable protocols being sent over the wire. This is fortunately becoming less of an issue than it used to be, but it can (for example) be a problem for certain kinds of Windows networking. I have had severe congestion problems in the past when bridging wired interfaces to wireless. In general I think adding a slow hop that's invisible to clients is asking for trouble, but that's not to say it can't work well in certain environments. The main thing to remember is just because the clients can pretend it's a LAN doesn't mean you can. ;) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
