VPN service for a 30 - 50 location network

[dgupta]

I am in process of setting up a VPN service for HQ

to branch office for multiple customers(about 30 locations in all). The links to the central site would be either leased lines - 128/256k of

satellite links in the same BW range. What type of cisco router/concentrator should I deploy at the central site? 3660 ? do I need a VPN 3000 Concentrator ? Should I use IPsec or MPLS?

Go for any router with 3600 series and above , - calculate how many WAN ports you need - so order one or multiple routers with that config,- go for VPN 3015/3080 (depends on no. of IPSec sessions) box and you will be using only IPsec.

Thanks
