A VPN connection can link two LANs (site-to-site VPN) or a remote dial-up user and a LAN. The traffic that flows between these two points passes through shared resources such as routers, switches, and other network equipment that make up the public WAN.

Note: The term tunnel does not denote tunnel mode (see Packet Processing in Tunnel Mode). Instead, it refers to the IPsec connection. IPsec is a suite of related protocols for cryptographically securing communications at the IP Packet Layer. IPsec also provides methods for the manual and automatic negotiation of security associations (SAs) and key distribution, all the attributes for which are gathered in a domain of interpretation (DOI). The IPsec DOI is a document containin
