Does anyone have previous experience meeting IRS requirements for the encrypted 
transmission of FTI across a LAN and WAN, specifically the requirements called 
for in IRS Publication 1075?
The IRS tests for the following:
All FTI data in transit is encrypted when moving across a Wide Area Network 
(WAN) and within the agency's Local Area Network (LAN).   If FTI is transmitted 
over a LAN or WAN it is encrypted with FIPS 140-2 validated encryption, using 
at least a 128-bit encryption key.

MACsec is what we are looking at right now.  I'm wondering if anyone who has 
been through such an implementation could share lessons learned, gotchas, etc.

Any input is appreciated?

Fred
