MacSec looks interesting - what kind of overhead does it add?

Would it generally work through a L2 MPLS circuit MTU wise?

Also - is the a feature support matrix anywhere for this ?

I'm currently testing MACSec using Cisco 3560-CX in the lab in a 
Switch-to-Switch manual deployment and so far so good. If you don't want to get 
elaborate the price point might be attractive..

Link encryption and scalability kit etc

We have many clients connecting back to our DC using mostly 3rd party L2 
circuits.
There has been an increasing number of requests to encrypt these links - as 
they want to protect against the "possibly many" service providers that are in 
the transit path.

Management suggested firewalls (cisco only, no routed VPN's) - but I have two 
issues with this - no Routing protocols, and no VRF's on our Data Center end to 
terminate at a larger device.

I was think of little routers capable of encrypting 1 VTI tunnels @100 meg on 
the client side And ASR1k would fit the bill on the DC end - and maybe would 
suffice for 30 or so P2P's if it was connected back to our core at 10G, but 
these are too expensive for the MGT team.

What other technologies/products could I consider at either end, that are 
available in the enterprise space?

Any direction greatly appreciated,
Nick
