IPSec - UDP or TCP or both??
----------
Hi. My company has got Cisco VPN3000 concentrators and uses the Cisco VPN client for remote access. I am very unclear as to the optimal config of the concentrators and/or client when it comes to UDP or TCP. I know the basics between TCP and UDP (connection vs connectionless). In simple terms, though, why/when would I want to use one over the other? You can configure IPSec over TCP plus IPSec over NAT-T in the concentrator's SYSTEM-TUNNELING PROTOCOLS. Also, you can configure IPSec over UDP in the concentrator's USER MGMT-GROUPS-CLIENT CONFIG. And in the VPN client properties, you have to select TPC or UDP. Can somebody please explain why I might want to configure all these settings one way rather than another way? Thanks much.......
