Not all existing switches support IEEE 802.1AE; therefore, in the short term, an alternative solution might be attractive. This solution relies on IPsec for the security features. Although IPsec is convenient and suitable to protect IP traffic, it sometimes requires you to also protect all Layer 2 communication between two sites, such as spanning a LAN over a confidential tunnel.
