Module description

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