My apologies if this shouldn't be posted to this group, but I didn't
know of any other place where an open discussion among "friends"
could take place. If I should take this elsewhere, just let me know.

Is it possible to encrypt ethernet packets so that all layers above
layer 2 would be encrypted? The idea I had was to make a device that
could defeat a TCP sniffer by encrypting the IP headers. Is this
doable? Viable? A reinvention of the wheel?
