Abstract

While the benefits of using IPsec to solve a significant number of network security problems are well known and its adoption is gaining ground, very little is known about the communication overhead that it introduces. Quantifying this overhead will make users aware of the price of the added security, and will assist them in making well-informed IPsec deployment decisions.
