RE: queries regarding IPSec

[Omar Salvador Alcalá Ruiz <oalcala () scitum com mx>]

IPSec is a set of protocols. It is really important that you answer, what do you want to encrypt? The alternative to 
IPSec is SSL traffic and SSL clientless for remote VPN. Due to SSL nature, it's heavier for a device to handle SSL than 
IPSec (TCP against UDP basically) so be careful when determining which one to use.
