Episode 94 — VPN Protocols — IPSec and MPLS
This episode focuses on two widely used VPN protocols. IPSec secures IP communications through encryption and authentication, operating in tunnel or transport modes for flexibility. It is commonly used for both site-to-site and remote access VPNs. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is explained as a high-performance routing technique that can prioritize traffic and provide predictable paths, often used in enterprise WANs with managed VPN services.
We also compare their advantages, limitations, and typical deployment contexts. For the Cloud+ exam, you’ll need to distinguish between protocol-level capabilities and understand how they influence security, performance, and cost in cloud networking solutions. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
