RE: OpenSSL

MPLS (on its own) gives you jack-squat in terms of delay and jitter. All the clever queuing can do it for you - but then it can for IP (because its the same thing!).

As Eric stated in his previous message, I have not realized that his point was that even one machine that has an ethernet connection directly to the SSL-enabled service, the SSL timing attack is possible. Of course, such setup is the most common way of connecting systems with SSL-enabled services to the internet. Alex
