The alternative would have been a private network over leased lines or frame relay links. We have a virtual private network in that all sites are linked together over a 3rd party core providing seperacy of data / routing protocols from other users of the 3rd party core. Where security is required we still encrypt data using IPSEC over the MPLS VPN.
With the MPLS solution there is "single hop" connectivity between all sites at all times.
Wouldn't there be high management overhead to reproduce with IPSEC tunnels?

slashnikAs a user of a 300+ site MPLS VPN ompressions are generally very good. Apart from a few bugs where MPLS tags are ocasionally lost.
The alternative of a 300 site IPSEC Tunnel VPN with full mesh connectivity would be a lot harder to manage.

Just a thought but.
All this CO2 that we are "producing", Are we not just releasing natural C02 that was fixed from the atmosphere millions of years ago?
