If your flows are a target, or your data is of an extremely sensitive nature (diplomatic, etc), why aren't you moving those bits over something more private than IP (point to point L2, MPLS)? This doesn't work for the VoIP target mentioned, but foreign ministries should most definitely not be trusting encryption alone.
I will ruin someones weekend here, but:
MPLS != Encryption. MPLS VPN = "Stick a label before the still unencrypted IP packet".
great, now how do I get a private link?
MPLS doesn't secure your data, you are responsible for keeping it secure on the wire.
but, but,but! they told me it was private!
