VPNs encapsulate data and encrypt the data using an algorithm contained within the transmission protocol. VPN traffic is encrypted and decrypted at the transmission and receiving ends of the connection. VPNs can also be set up using L2TP/IPsec protocols, which proves to have much stronger encryption than PPTP.

MPLS cost reduction is the target of the emerging SD-WAN market that is bustling with solutions looking to take the corporate wide area network to a whole new level. MPLS isnt encrypted by default: MPLS relies on the carrier private network for security because the data doesnt flow on the public Internet.

While SDN is an important concept, it is moving slowly through the datacenter due to the complexity of the environment and the co-opetition between vendors that provide the virtual network functions (VNFs). Where SDN has traction is within the discipline of SD-WAN. SD-WAN is a narrower implementation of SDN concepts.

With MPLS revenue streams at risk, the carriers are pursuing a two-prong strategy: augmenting MPLS with Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) and adding value-add services to the core network with Network Function Virtualization (NFV). We call this the Network Function Cloudification (NFCL) fabric.

Simplifying Networking and Security in the Cloud Integrating security appliances is the common approach touted by large security vendors, but that only perpetuates the sizing and scalability problems inherent in appliances. The more devices that NAT, the more end-to-end encrypted sessions we run, the less visibility we have into our traffic.
