Any comments or caveats? I think you hit the nail on the head with the analysis about the P130. You would be better suited with another super/pipeline product for IPSec. I think the principle issue is that if you say the P130 can do IPSec, and that it has a T1/E1 interface, people would do IPSec at T1/E1 rate. The P130 was designed in an era where point-to-point encryption was not required for SO/HO applications. I believe that several of the Superpipes and Pipelines still have Firewall/IPSec capability up to 56bit for free, and 3Des at a small cost. In the sales documents there is no mention of P130 and IPSec.
