PPTP creates a tunnel by wrapping PPP packets of information
(containing IP, IPX or bridge traffic) within IP packets for
transmission through the Internet. Upon receipt of this
information, the external IP packets are stripped away and the
original packet is then delivered to its destination. This allows the
transportation of packets that would not otherwise conform to
Internet addressing standards.
PPTP has been implemented in the Nautica range of products to
allow maximum application flexibility with easy configuration.
The following examples are intended to highlight the issues,
features and benefits of PPTP.
Dial-In User (Win 95) PPTP
In this example, a user with a PPP-enabled PC, generally running
®
Windows
95 or Windows 3.1x, wishes to pass information to
another site. The only way to reach the remote site is via the
Internet.
