VPN's have carved out a niche in the lower speed network links (up to about t3 speeds).
For the majority of the offerings (Those both ICSA and thus IPSec compliant {{Certified}} which tranlates to the fact they'll work with IPng -) this is true. IRE (Out of Maryland is the only vendor that I know of this is offering on-chip speeds in the mid OC levels, and this will subsequentily open more avenues and solutions for us all) is chaging all of this - and the cool thing with IRE is that not only do they have one of the eleven products actually certified with IPSec (See the current article and write-ups in the April '99 issue of Information Security, or visit there URL and start probing around: www.infosecuritymag.com) there prodcuts are based on standards (Like X509 & yadda, yadda, yadda many other standards for there product offerings), which is certainly nice for a change. It would be nice to see ID Vendors go in the same direction as well. "Standards versus propietary nonsense."
