My understanding was that the connection prior saw the cleartext of the final destination's packets. SSL was the way to make sure that end to end was encrypted

SSL was the way to make sure that end to end was encrypted so that nobody could read the data (mainly login/password info).
I think the only way to see is to be part of the tunnel architecture and see if my thoughts are right or wrong.
