I've limited experiences with NGx so I can NOT comment much on it. However, I
do have
experience with R55w on SPLAT and I can offer the following advice:
Routing on SPLAT in R55w in Zebra, in NGx they called it something else but I
still zebra
directory in NGx so it may be different only to the CP marketing/sale guys.
SPLAT R55w
can not terminate GRE on the interface itself, you need to use Nokia for that.
Nokia IPSO
can terminate GRE on the interface. Zebra in SPLAT, AFAIK, can only do RIP,
OSPF, BGP,
etc.. and nothing else.
If you are looking to route multicast traffics, your options would either to
use Nokia
or Cisco IOS router that will perform GRE so that it will tunnel routing
protocols and multicast
traffics such as VoIP traffics for you. After that, you can protect the GRE
traffics with the
IPSec VPN. That's why they call it GRE/IPSec.
I also heard that with Cisco IOS release 12.4 and later, there is a feature
that you do not need
to use GRE to route multicast traffics and it is not Dynamic Multipoint VPN
either. I would
imagine that Checkpoint has something similar in NGx that is compatible with
Cisco in IOS
release 12.4.
Before you invest in SPLAT Pro, talk to your Checkpoint rep. and requested to
talk to a CP
engineer (not sale engineer) but someone who is familiar with what I just
described above.
AFAIK, SPLAT Pro is NOT cheap and it may not meet the requirements you
described.
Good Luck!

Does anyone have any recommendations for, or want to share experiences
in, getting multicast traffic operational between sites via VPN? I
understand SPLAT Pro offers multicast routing but I have also read
something regarding GRE encapsulation of multicast traffic but not sure
how this would work on regular SPLAT. Just wanted input before I make a
commitment to SPLAT Pro. All feedback is greatly appreciated.
