I have been unsuccessful in finding a box to meet a specific requirement - take a Gigabit Ethernet and IP tunnel it over an arbitrary Internet path to the other end and another of the same box and reconstitute it.
Specific requirements:
I would prefer not to have to "roll my own" solution if I don't have to. Any suggestions?
Specific requirements:
- Work at full GigE line rate
- Not be restricted to IP - any valid Ethernet packet goes in one box, comes out the other
- Be able to reconstitute the original packet - for example, break up an MTU 9000 packet into chunks that can be sent over whatever the tunnel MTU is, then put it back together and emit it as a single MTU 9000 packet on the far end
- Be [relatively] inexpensive
- No encryption needed
- No firewall / packet inspection / etc. needed
- No special method needed to "find the other end". In this case, both ends have static IP addresses. Might be nice for some other use cases to be able to have one end be a static IP and the other end be a dynamic IP.
