Q. What is AH and ESP ?

These two protocols are used for tunneled data in IPSec. The Authentication Header ( AH ) protocol provides authentication and optional replay-detection services but neither data encryption nor decryption services is implemented.

The Encapsulating Security Payload ( ESP ) protocol provides data confidentiality and protection with optional authentication and replay-detection services.
