(
PA-7000 Series firewalls only
)
When you deploy the firewall in a network that uses Dynamic IP and
Port (DIPP) NAT translation with PPTP, client systems are limited
to using a translated IP address-and-port pair for only one connection.
This issue occurs because the PPTP protocol uses a TCP signaling
(control) protocol that exchanges data using Generic Routing Encapsulation
(GRE) version 1 and the hardware cannot correlate the call-id in
the GRE version 1 header with the correct dataplane (the one that
owns the predict session of GRE). This issue occurs even if you
configure the Dynamic IP and Port (DIPP)
NAT Oversubscription
Rate
to allow multiple connections ().
