Tunnel Mode:
The tunnel mode IPSec implementation encapsulates the entire IP packet. The
entire packet becomes the payload of the packet that is processed with IPSec. A new IP header
is created that contains the two IPSec gateway addresses. The gateways perform the
encapsulation/decapsulation on behalf of the hosts. Tunnel mode ESP prevents an attacker
from analyzing the data and deciphering it, as well as knowing who the packet is from and
where it is going.
Note:
AH and ESP can be used in both transport mode or tunnel mode.

Key Management
IPSec uses the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol to facilitate and automate the SA setup and
the exchange of keys between parties transferring data. Using keys ensures that only the sender
and receiver of a message can access it.
IPSec requires that keys be re-created, or refreshed, frequently so that the parties can communicate
securely with each other. IKE manages the process of refreshing keys; however, a user can control
the key strength and the refresh frequency. Refreshing keys on a regular basis ensures data
confidentiality between sender and receiver.
