And your device can support such protocol inner and outer checksum check? >From what I see the inner packet of SSTP is encrypted by SSL. So for outer and inner checksum validation device will need to: 1. compute the outer TCP checksum 2. if valid decrypt the inner PPP packet 3. compute the PPP checksum.
