I think it's important to stress that network level security is in
some sense orthoganol to application layer security.  Used today,
network layer security provides end to end privacy to the network
code.  It does you no good to have that privacy if the hosts on
either end leak like sieves.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a secure pipe, where you
have secure ends on both sides, network layer security is just fine,
regardless of the applications on either side.
