I've been researching different types of service provider VPNs in general and Qwest's PRN, in particular. From what I can gather their PRN is a 2764-based VPN offering using IPSec tunneling. I've run into two fairly obvious caveats already and I'm wondering what other caveats might await that aren't so obvious.
First, and most obvious, is that without the use of GRE or something similar we won't get multiprotocol capability. Second, and a little less obvious until you think about it, is that we would lose multicasting capabilities without jumping through some GRE hoops. To those of you more familiar with this sort of thing, are there any other operational caveats like these that I'd need to be aware of? BTW, I think it was dre who suggested I read the RFCs, which I've started to do, and suggested I check out the www.lightreading.com website. That site is great! I did do a search on Kompella vs. Kompella. I feel that Kompella has some good points, but so does Kompella. ;-) I guess the real questions is which Kompella is most compelling? I didn't realize that there were so many competing VPN groups and technologies. At this rate, by the time we agree on any standard methods all of the technologies will be obsolete!
