About IPsec modes: tunnel and transport

This solution uses two types of VPN:

zIPsec tunnel mode, for the headquarters office to branch office VPNs. These are site-to- site (router-to-router) VPNs.

zIPsec transport mode with L2TP, for the roaming Windows VPN clients.

The following figure shows the protocol stacks for the tunnel mode VPN and the transport mode VPN for the connection type PPPoA.

In this How To Note, branch office 1 uses PPPoA. The other offices in this How To Note use different connection types and therefore have different stacks below IP. Branch office 2 uses

PPPover virtual Ethernet over ATM, and headquarters simply uses IP over an actual Ethernet WAN connection.
