Using Tunnel Switching
Maintaining and managing VPN tunnels can be compli-
cated and labor-intensive. This is particularly true when
using a
fully meshed
topology in which a VPN tunnel is cre-
ated between all sites. As the number of VPN sites
increases, managing and maintaining tunnels among all
the sites becomes much more difficult. The situation gets
even more complicated after remote users establish their
own VPN connections to the corporate network and to
branch offices. The following figure depicts a fully meshed
configuration.
