In that era, ipsec required changes to kernel protocol stacks ... which required upgrading kernels. at the time that was a very expensive undertaking (current kernel/system provisioning technologies have somewhat reduced such costs) and represented barrier to uptake. Both VPN (deployed in router/gateway boxes) and SSL (deployed as part of browsers/applications) side-stepped the delays and inhibitor/barriers to uptake ... that ipsec was having at the time (which then resulted explosion in market penetration & deployments for VPN & SSL). -- 40+yrs virtualization experience (since Jan68), online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
