Network-Based Vs. CPE-Based IP VPNs

Overview This white paper is designed to help sales representatives navigate through the complex VPN decision-making process. It will describe the differences between CPE-based and Network-based IP VPNs that use the IPSec protocol to secure communications. It will conclude with a discussion on how Network-based IP VPN and CPE-based IP VPN solutions work together in a hybrid network. This arrangement allows customers to consider either CPE or Network-based IP VPN options for each of their office locations, depending on the mix that best meets their business needs.
