Check Text ( C-12962r3_chk )
Review the network topology diagram. If there is a connection between the classified network and the unclassified network for the purpose of tunneling classified traffic across a non-DISN or OCONUS DISN unclassified IP network, verify there is approval by the DSAWG. If there is no document stating DSAWG approval, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-14206r3_fix)
Remove the connection between the classified and unclassified network. Obtain approval from the DSAWG for the purpose of tunneling classified traffic across a non-DISN or OCONUS DISN unclassified IP network.
