Abstract	With the emergence of Metro Ethernet as a high speed and carrier grade technology across public networks, the support of Quality of Service (QoS) and Service Level Agreements (SLA) has become an essential feature of Ethernet. In such context, the issues of network security and data transfer delay are regaining significant importance. The IEEE has recently introduced the 802.1AE MACSec protocol which aims at providing hop by hop security but that does not guarantee end to end security across public networks. In order to provide end-to-end security, in general a higher layer security protocol such as IPSec would be required. In this paper we propose an enhancement to the MACSec protocol in order to maintain the advantages of providing security at layer 2 while assuring an end-to-end security; alleviating the need for higher layer security protocols. We show that our approach enhances network performance in terms of transfer delay and delay variation while providing security levels comparable to those delivered by the combination of IPSec and MACSec.
