The standards behind IPsec

IPsec is based on a variety of protocols for the individual functions. These protocols are based on, and complement one another. The modularity achieved with this concept is an important advantage of IPsec over other standards. IPsec is not restricted to specific protocols but can be supplemented at any time by future developments. The protocols integrated to date also offer such a high degree of flexibility that IPsec can be perfectly adapted to virtually any requirements.
