It doesnt' neessarily have to be IPSEC or SSL I bet... though longer term SSL or IPSEC seem like better options (since phorm/blah will quickly start poking into PPTP/gre tunnels as well). Oh, how do you know you can trust the VPN folks anymore than the cable-modem folks though? eventually the same cost issues are going to arise for the VPN folks as did for cable-modem/dsl folks (downward pressure on pricing and infra/opex/capex costs going up/not-decreasing). -Chris _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
