Subject: IP Level Encryption Devices

Our organization is looking for ip-level packet encryption/decryption 
devices that run at ethernet speeds.

To clarify, when I say ip-level I mean that the contents of the packets are
encrypted while the ip address portions are not.

We currently have a routed ethernet network with an FDDI backbone. The 
net is physically secure from the outside world, however some of our clients
require an enhanced level of privacy.

We are hoping to selectively encrypt/decrypt packets between these clients at
their source and destination points, while using our regular-old-routers to
make sure that the packets actually get there.

Since the equipment will be "dropped" into a production environment, site
references would be greatly appreciated.
