[c-nsp] GET-VPN and BGP

How could GET be easier than DMPVN? :)

They both have pros and cons, so you have to look at the current design and
decide which will fit better. 
First, one has to look at the hardware/software pieces to see whether they
can do GET-VPN.
Also, with ~50 nodes, you probably want a redundant key servers solution.
That's 2 extra devices.  Then you need to decide where to put the key
servers.
Also, one needs to look at the integration between features.  If you have
Zone Based Firewall, then GET is a pain to look at.  With DMVPN, you just
need to throw the tunnel interface into a zone.
If the customer already used GRE/IPSEC, then in my opinion, it's easier to
migrate into DMVPN than GET-VPN.

We have deployed several networks now with GET, and now that we are used
to it.. there is no looking back at DMVPN.  When it comes to
troubleshooting on the CE device, I feel GET is much easier.  There is
no overlay network with GET.

running overtop of their MPLS WAN. Once they migrate to BGP they would like
to have a solution that will support the any-to-any connectivity the MPLS
WAN offers and be able to scale well to many sites >50. What are my options
here. Configuring point to point static IPSEC tunnels are not practical.
