Why is IPsec considered a transparent protocol?

What will be an ideal response?


Because it operates at a low level in the OSI model, IPsec is considered a transparent security protocol. It is transparent to the following entities:
* Applications-Programs do not have to be modified to run under IPsec.
* Users-Unlike some security tools, users do not need to be trained on specific security procedures (such as encrypting with PGP).
* Software-Because IPsec is implemented in a device such as a firewall or router, no software changes must be made on the local client.
