IP compression is not supported on all routers.
Transport—Encrypt data only. Transport mode is used when both endpoints
support IPsec. Transport mode places the authentication header or
encapsulated security payload after the original IP header; thus, only the IP
payload is encrypted. This method allows users to apply network services
such as quality-of-service (QoS) controls to encrypted packets.
Tunnel—Encrypt data and IP header. Tunnel mode provides stronger
protection than transport mode. Because the entire IP packet is encapsulated
within AH or ESP, a new IP header is attached, and the entire datagram can
be encrypted. Tunnel mode allows network devices such as routers to act as
an IPsec proxy for multiple VPN users.
