You can not route broadcast traffic and multicast traffic is only routable if you are running a multicast routing daemon on the concentrator. Maybe it is easier to use gif(4) interfaces and bridge(4) the together. In that case they behave like a local LAN and multicast and broadcast will just work. > > > > >Gre(4) multicast code is broken -- at least it was so in May when I last > >tested it.
