(sorry for the continuing top-post) Speaking of Hub-and-Spokes, what about Frame Relay (from a single provider that covers all your states)? I imagine that it's probably run over their own backbone using MPLS anyway. On Tue, Aug 30, 2005 at 05:00:56AM +0300, Kim Onnel wrote:
What about doing the VPN onver the internet, with IPSec tunnels terminated in a hub and spoke model, i dont know price wise, but it would work fine.

I'm looking at connecting 15+ multi-state locations together to start forming a private corporate network. The sites are small with 25-30 devices. I want to avoid direct-T1's due to cost, therefore I'm looking for alternatives. I know I can do site-to-site VPN, but I've also heard a lot about MPLS and from what I've read, it may be a good option. Over the next year, we will be adding 5-10 more sites, so expansion is important. I'm not planning to do voice, but it may be an option in 2-3 years. If anyone has any suggestions on their experiences, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
