Under what circumstances will a VPN transfer substantially more packets than conventional IP when sending the same data across the Internet? (Hint: think about encapsulation.)
Added by William J.
Step 1
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) encapsulates the original data packets within a new packet structure. This means that the original data is wrapped in additional headers and possibly trailers, which are necessary for the VPN protocol to function. Show more…

When sending encrypted traffic from firewall to firewall, why does there need to be an extra IP header? Why can’t the firewall simply encrypt the packet, leaving the source and destination as the original source and destination?

Are there any circumstances when connection-oriented service will (or at least should) deliver packets out of order? Explain.
If the unit exchanged at the data link level is called a frame and the unit exchanged at the network level is called a packet, do frames encapsulate packets or do packets encapsulate frames? Explain your answer.
