Re: IPSec vs. IPSec/L2TP

[Rodrigo Blanco <rodrigo.blanco.r () gmail com>]

Hello,

I was looking at that some time ago, and the only explanation I found
was that L2TP/IPsec had to be used, for compatibility purposes with
some platforms / OS.... the information was not very clear.

It was not reccomended in the paper I read, since it did not mean much
security enhancement, but performance degradation was almost assured.

Regards,
R.
