I know this is a NANOG forum but curious how widespread usage of MACsec might be. (https://1.ieee802.org/security/802-1ae/).Currently reading the spec but wanted to pose some questions. I'm seeing some pitfalls: 1) May not work over wireless LAN devices? 2) Needs a centralized key server. 3) May not be supportable on all devices? Purported to be faster on the LAN than IPsec because MACsec is on layer 2. Thoughts?
