Normally I use netmon, but thats usually between nodes, The VPN's are being initiated on each router (site to site) no PC's are using any type of VPN client.
I'm going to setup a syslog server and have the devices dump the data.

Where it runs depends on if the machine initiating the VPN can handle the load and whether it’s plugged into a hub or a switch. I outlined the procedure I would follow in my first post on this issue.

We've never had the privilege of being in FIOS serviceable area, so I really don't know where to start, any pointers would be great TIA JP
