We have three locations in which we have implemented site to site VPN tunnels.  Each one has at the very least 256k down and 128k up, though it works better with 512k down 256k up.  We have two sites in Kigali, Rwanda, and one in Nairobi.  We have been using Juniper or Netscreen products, and have stuck with them because of they are reasonably fast yet easy to manage and configure out of the box.  Juniper has also been very helpful with support calls.  I was surprised how knowledgable their first level support was. Wait times and the whole queue process wasn’t too bad either.  Of course you can probably get the same service and results with Cisco products, but you’d have to fight through the Cisco IOS.

 

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need more info.  Also…I would listen closely to what Robert Guerra responds with (if he still listens to this list) He knows his security.

Hello,

 

Good morning to everyone.  We are strongly considering creating a global network connecting our seventeen offices via a site-to-site VPN.  We have found that better Internet connections are becoming available in the areas of our field offices and many offices have already upgraded connections, having in most cases at least 256 K lines.  Inexpensive VPN appliances are also now much more available. 

 

Has anyone set up a site-to-site VPN for your organization?  I understand this technology has been around for quite some time, but I'm wondering if others have adopted the use of it.

 

Thank you for any quick blurb you can provide.

 

Best regards,

Stan Mierzwa
