The client may not have control over the cloud in the center, and the cloud may only support TCP/IP. The only solution would be to properly route the supported protocol in the tunnel interface (Tunnel interfaces support AppleTalk, Banyan VINES, CLNS, DECnet, IP, or IPX), or use DLSW if SNA and/or "raw" NetBIOS traffic is required.

I don't think just because the tunnel doesn't have IP addresses that will make it part of the same LAN and cause broadcast packets to flow across it. I can't say for sure though. Anyone else?
