RE: VPN over VSAT Link

["Lee Hilt" <lhilt () mbc edu>]

in my opinion, even though the traffic originates in a non-traditional way
(I.E. not "on the wire") it eventually gets there. LOGICALLY all traffic is
"On the wire" so despite the originization, the traffic is subject to
sniffing... so I would say if you have any sensitive assets, some sort of
traffic encryption would be needed

Subject: VPN over VSAT Link

Dear ALL

My company have 15 field offices connected by a VSAT Network and all the
applications are centralised in the Headquater. We are discussing about the
need to have IPSec VPN LAN-2-LAN over VSAT transactions and access to
applications between field offices and Headquater.

Is it necessary to have encryption over satellite link?

thank you.
