RE: Anyone using uvlan out there?

Using the libpcap (winpcap for windows users) library, uvlan 
listens to a specific ethernet device. If a broadcast frame 
is seen, then it is sent off to all the peers so they can add 
it to their records and emit the broadcast on their local 
network. 

I doubt that we will be deploying Windows servers in our network to
route traffic. This is not the only way to do layer 2 over IP. See
