Stacy, Another question about the tunnel interfaces if I may.. To finish my thought about the interfaces, when I look at the 'monitor interface traffic' I only see the receiving side showing traffic on MT tunnel interface. Does this mean exactly what I believe it means, which is only the receiver side tunnel PIC resources will be utilized?
