SSTP was intended only for remote client access, it generally does not support site-to-site VPN tunnels.<ref>{{cite web |last=Jain |first=Samir |date=2007-01-10 |title=SSTP FAQ - Part 1: Generic |url=http://blogs.technet.com/b/rrasblog/archive/2007/01/10/sstp-faq-part-1-generic.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20101012205841/http://blogs.technet.com/b/rrasblog/archive/2007/01/10/sstp-faq-part-1-generic.aspx |archive-date=2010-10-12 |website=TechNet Blogs |accessdate=}}</ref>
 
SSTP suffers from the same performance limitations as any other IP-over-TCP tunnel. In general, performance will be acceptable only as long as there is sufficient excess bandwidth on the un-tunneled network link to guarantee that the tunneled TCP timers do not expire. If this becomes untrue, performance falls off dramatically. This is known as the "TCP meltdown problem".<ref>{{cite web
