Cisco/Nortel

[Oliver Truetsch]

Guy,

We sell both products to our customer. From my point of view, they are both 
quite stabile. Using the Cisco, you will have the full range of IOS felling 
and also all the problems. The Nortel is easier to configure (http 
interface), more stabile and provides a lot of statistic features. 
Personally, I also prefer the Nortel dial client, because the Cisco (IRE) 
clients crashes very often. Throughput and maximum tunnel connections are 
nearly the same, depending on which Cisco router or  Nortel CES you want to 
use.

In general, I would say the Cisco is better if you plan to design a multi 
server network based on leased line connections, while the Nortel CES is 
better for a solution with a single VPN server or a smaller network.

Regards,

Oliver
