IPSec Protocol Stack

Figure 12 shows the protocol stack on a client, an IPSec gateway, and a server. In the figure, HTTP and TCP are examples of higher-level protocols involved in the end-to-end communication; other end-to-end communication protocols are also supported. The layers where the data can be encrypted are shown in gray.
