With The Efficient Networks SpeedStream router, it is possible to avoid the use of NAPT with PPPoA addressing schemes, such as currently used by the Alltel Internet. Using the new PPTP Relay feature of the 5660, it is possible to push the WAN ip address of the dynamic ip subscriber back to his or her PC. This is desireable in some instances, in order to promote compatibility with applications that use non-standard TCP/UDP ports, or applications that have problems with NAPT. Examples of such applications include multiplayer games, and VPN clients. The purpose of this page is to describe how this feature can be used with Alltel ADSL subscribers (with Alltel Internet service).
Note: PPTP Relay support was recently added to the 5660's feature set. Subscribers wishing to take advantage of this feature should upgrade to the Software Version 2.3.0(2) or Higher.
