SSTP (part 1)

Here's some initial links on SSTP. This is the new builtin feature in Vista SP1 that incorporates SSLVPN tunneling. If you're already familiar with SSLVPN's, you're already well aware of its advantages over other VPN technologies as its primarily encapsulating in SSL transactions and make it a very robust solution for clients that are on various types of networks as really, you only need to have the remote network to allow TCP/443 (HTTPS) back to your RAS server. The fact that Microsoft is building this into their architecture is awesome as there are a number of embedded devices being developed that could greatly benefit from this venture. The links below are from the Microsoft RRAS blog.
