Thus far we have some great response on Twitter from folks like Mike Fratto (@mfratto), David O'Berry (@davidoberry), Simon Crosby (@simoncrosby), David Mortman (@mortman) and Jack Daniel (@jack_daniel)

 

 

Some of the insights thus far:

 

 

- Smaller encapsulation

 

- IPsec deterministic, known overhead versus varaible

 

- IPSec VPN net-to-net shipping and widely available, SSPN VPN net-to-net not

 

- OpenVPN long available, choice of ports/protocols, more forgiving of latency

 

- Support and scalability

 

 

Looking forward to more insight on this one!
