Zusammenfassung:A network device is capable of transmitting and/or receiving packets that are encrypted according to a particular network security protocol, while being encapsulated according to any of a variety of tunneling protocols independent of the particular network security protocol. In such embodiments, a customer or network administrator can use the particular network security protocol while having the freedom to choose a particular tunneling protocol that is best suited for a network implementation instead of being limited to a specific tunneling protocol for a particular network security protocol.
