Abstract
Described are embodiments directed to negotiating an encapsulation mode between an initiator and a responder. As part of the negotiation of the security association, an encapsulation mode is negotiated that allows packets to be sent between the initiator and responder without encapsulation. The ability to send packets without encapsulation allows intermediaries, such as a firewall, at the responder to easily inspect the packets and implement additional features such as security filtering.
