This is a bit different. Instead of using the realm to locally authenticate the user you forward the whole PPP session to the remote PPP server (LNS) associated with the realm.
To continue on Shayne's example, [email protected]'s traffic (PPP bits and all) would get tossed down a L2TP tunnel to 2.2.2.2. This means the PPP session for Bob would be established between BOB's CPE and 2.2.2.2. Your router would just be forwarding bits from Bob to the L2TP tunnel. This rocks because your wholesale customer (example.com) can use their own IP addresses for the customer. I chipped in support in a different thread a while back: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26698 This is really the one feature left that is preventing me from becoming a rabid Mikrotik evangelist. :-) Also see Cisco's explanation of this: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk703/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094586.shtml On Sun, Nov 22, 2009 at 4:59 PM, Mike Hammett <[email protected]> wrote: > Doesn't it already support realms via RADIUS? > > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions > http://www.ics-il.com > > > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Shayne Lebrun" <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 8:04 AM > To: "'Mikrotik discussions'" <[email protected]> > Subject: [Mikrotik] RouterOS needs VPDN! > >> What I'd love to see in RouterOS is VPDN.
