topic WAAS AND VPN in Application Networking https://community.cisco.com/t5/application-networking/waas-and-vpn/m-p/1206974#M50754 <P>I want to deploy WAAS between a head office and a DR site, they will either connect through a private WAN or the Internet. A requirement is for the traffic to be encrypted and as such IPSEC VTIs will be used to enable routing as there will also be a back up link. I am thinking that traffic would be optimized before it is routed and passed through the tunnel. Is that the case? Can this work?</P> Fri, 15 May 2009 18:58:00 GMT kwillacey 2009-05-15T18:58:00Z WAAS AND VPN https://community.cisco.com/t5/application-networking/waas-and-vpn/m-p/1206974#M50754 <P>I want to deploy WAAS between a head office and a DR site, they will either connect through a private WAN or the Internet.
