5.8 IPsec Tunnels #1 and #2
IPsec (Internet Protocol security) refers to a set of specifications for security at the IP
layer of TCP/IP networks. IPsec tunnels are special secure channels of communication
encapsulated within IP protocol that encrypt both the payload data and the packet header.
Encapsulated Secure Payload (ESP) for IP is defined in RFC1827. You can define up to
two tunnels to securely connect the iPocket
232 to two separate networks.

IPsec contains computationally intensive algorithms. Enabling IPsec may
cause a significant decrease in the speed/performance of the iPocket 232. If your
application has performance or latency requirements, please ensure that this decrease in
performance does not break the timing requirements. Full baud rates may not be
achievable when IPsec is enabled.
