Encapsulation Overview
There are two types of encapsulation available with HP VPN
products. The first is Shiva Smart Tunneling (SST)
encapsulation. The second, called Encapsulating Security
Payload (ESP) encapsulation, is an emerging standard as defined
by IPSec. ESP (both 32- or 64-bit versions) should be used when
you communicate with another non–HP VPN device (such as a
firewall or router) that has implemented the ESP portion of the
IPSec standard.
Encapsulation works in the following manner: when a packet is
encrypted, a brand new packet is created. This new packet
contains the entire original packet (including the header), which
has been encrypted, a new header, and some information
required by the device that finally decrypts the packet. The
original packet is said to be encapsulated.
