Folks, If you don't know talk about tunnels you might want to check out this new forum called IPsphere who want to promote VPN services over the Internet and are rumored to be wanting to build "standards". I am tracking out of defense as industry SME for other forum than IETF, not HP day job work. Virtualization is going to happen and it should not always imply tunnels either and does not for networks.
