Module description

The Cisco Modular Access Routers are routers that provides data protection on a network providing packet encryption. The modules perform all of the functions typical of a router. In addition to the normal routing functions, the modules also provide packet encryption. The modules are capable of encrypting traffic between one or more modules: providing a secure connection at the packet level.
