For which tunnel types is ESP available?

ESP, or Encapsulating Security Payload, is a crucial component of the IPsec suite, providing a method for securing data packets as part of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection. When discussing tunnel types used in SonicWall Secure Mobile Access, it's important to recognize that both On-Demand Tunnel and Connect Tunnel utilize ESP to ensure secure communication.

The On-Demand Tunnel focuses on creating a secure connection only when needed, such as when accessing a specific application or resource. This tunnel type benefits from ESP by providing confidentiality, data integrity, and authentication for the transmitted data.

Similarly, the Connect Tunnel creates a persistent and secure connection between the client and the SonicWall appliance, using ESP to secure all data between the endpoints. This enables users to maintain a seamless and secure connection while accessing various resources.

In summary, since ESP is utilized for both the On-Demand Tunnel and the Connect Tunnel, the correct understanding is that both tunnel types take advantage of the security features offered by ESP.
