I think that this is pretty subjective. What is the value of the data that is transiting this link? I always err on the side of caution when it comes to data protection, esp. since a frame link isn't so fast that the overhead of encryption would be a big deal. As to the question of PVC/SVC security, the answer is two fold. At first blush, you realize that your data is going over public right of way, so it is available for interception. But when it comes down to brass tacks, it isn't as easy to find your data among the millions of other packets within the cloud. Can it be done? Yes. Would an attacker choose this as the best attack vector? Probably not. Should you still take steps to protect against the attack? For sure. -Ds Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=46633&t=46621 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
