Chapter 8. IPSec and Application Interoperability

One of the primary motivations for deploying an IPSec VPN is financial cost savings, yet deploying an IPSec VPN may affect the interoperability of other applications, such as voice and video. Therefore, there is an operational cost to deploying IPSec. Although previous chapters demonstrated many methods for simplifying IPSec VPNs, they did not address the opportunity costs that impact deployment of voice and video over the VPN.
