Re: Hmmm ... surely the very first hurdle is the Home->Office connection ?
I wonder how many ISPs broadband is actually up to the task ? I know that my last employers VPN functionality was not supported for connections under 5MB/s (no, I don't know why).
Probably a combination of factors. VPN traffic can be high overhead and delay sensitive, so with no QoS, and a low speed connection end up being unreliable. T'other gotcha could be the routers typically used on consumer connections having limited capacity to run the number of sessions used, especially in a split tunnel config. So attempting to support 100+ sessions, NAT and firewalling stresses those boxes and packets or sessions get dropped. I had that at one ISP I did some work for where the <$10 Zyxel box was fine for most home users, but barfed at VPN traffic.
