This is not _just_ an IPsec box. They also have a protocol that predates IPsec. This was presented to the "then forming" IPsec group in 1994 but it was passed over.

From the admin guide at:

Blue Ridge VPN uses a recognized approach to network connectivity called Layer 2 Tunneling. This general technique
is used by sophisticated network switching gear such as VLAN products and Layer 2 switches to make one physical
“Ethernet” logically appear to be composed of desktops, servers, and office LAN’s that may physically be in separate
locations.

I believe they do use protocol 50 (even though they are not IPSEC).

Layer 2? It seems to be an IPsec box. At the least, their Administrator's Guide talks about using IP Protocol 50.
