[AusNOG] 4G LTE bridges

[Jay Dixon]

Thanks Mike!

for my purposes i don't necessarily need the 'bridge' function to give me a
public routable address, It'll end up just being an alternative outbound
path to establish an IPSEC tunnel on or provide some basic web connectivity
for users.

all handy info to know though. just looking into some alternative solutions
thanks to Telstra's efforts yesterday! :D
