Hello experts
I need to connect a remote site to the local Ethernet LAN, using a leased
line (or just possibly an ISDN link). I have seen quite a few
router/bridges which might do the job; however I have the specific
requirement that certain broadcast UDP packets (which my applications use
extensively) be passed over the link. As I understand it most routers would
specifically block broadcast packets for obvious reasons. Of course, I
would need to retain some basic routing capability so that the low bandwidth
link is not saturated by the local network traffic.
Does anyone know of a router that I could configure to pass these broadcast
UDP packets?
Thanks,
Denville.
