That's rather a surprising choice (ATM product) for an IP network. Please describe what backbone you are running that uses a FASTLANE? Hopefully, other folks are securing their PPP or ethernet packets?

I'd be surprised if a civilian org could buy a fastlane device,.. maybe they moved out of the gov't only world though since the last time I saw one? It does claim to do oc-48 rate sonet though.

http://www.gdc4s.com/kg-530.html claims 40gbps... I don't know that a purely civilian org can purchase these though, nor the kg-75, despite these being on the GD site.

And at $189,950 MSRP, obviously every ISP is dashing out the door for a pair for each and every long haul fiber link. ;-) Hard to see the IETF multi-vendor interoperability specifications. It does mention SNMPv3, unlike all their other products which use a proprietary management scheme. Also HTTP, although no mention of its purpose. At least the FASTLANE mentioned above specifies FIREFLY -- the mere rumor of which was our basis for naming Photuris [RFC2522].

But I don't see where you mention that Google is actually using these to secure your fiber?
