QuestionQ3

Securing the Network

Which VPN protocol produces the greatest overhead?

  • A GRE over MPLS
  • B IPsec with NAT Traversal
  • C Secure Vector Routing
  • D IPsec without NAT Traversal
Explanation

IPsec NAT Traversal carries IPsec ESP inside UDP and adds a non-IKE marker, on top of the normal IPsec encapsulation. This additional encapsulation increases packet overhead relative to IPsec without NAT Traversal and the other listed protocols.
