Re: IKE Packet Processing

IKE (Internet Key Exchange) is part of the protocol used for IPsec and VPN communication. VPN encapsulates network packets using encryption and IKE packets are part of the encryption key negotiation between the two ends of the connection. Here's a start: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPN or for a head-hurting description of IPsec: http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/freeswan-l2tp.html
