Dear SwiNOG members Many thanks to all of you for participating the survey. I have received many very valuable feedbacks and I guess the outcome may be of interest for the most of you. Before I can provide you with all the details, I will need some time to put all the data together and doublecheck my interpretation with the ones that left their contact details. I will therefore get in contact with them and may ask some more questions ;-)
If there are still members, that have not yet had the time to participate and they have some feedback for me, please use the new collector link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MPLSvsIPSecVPN_Eng I closed the other one so I can start with the statistical part... Many thanks again and kind regards! Beat Von: Beat Eichenberger Gesendet: Dienstag, 4.

I'm working in the telecommunications industries since more than 15 years now, and having the role as "Head of Telecommunication" in an international IT company. My thesis is about the acceptance of IP Sec VPN for Intranet transport connections. I'm following the assumption, that most international companies have already changed, or would be ready to change their classical leased line services, mostly MPLS based and managed by service providers, against self-managed IPSec Internet VPN. I already had some very interesting interviews with CTO's and IT Managers from many companies. They do believe that the internet and technology today is mature enough. But when I ask them about their opinion on that topic, they mostly refer to their network professionals, since they hold a key role on technical decision of such matter. My goal is to reach as many network engineers, heads of telecommunication, CTO's, etc. as possible. So pros like you and I responsible for planning, engineering and/or maintaining their company's intranet. Therefore I'm kindly asking you, if you could please participate on the following survey, if the description above applies to you: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MPLSvsIPSec I very much appreciate your help and contribution! It is planned to present the results and outcome on SwiNOG#25 in Bern. Many thanks for your feedback and support! Beat
