Due to scalability and practical implementation considerations automatic key management seems a natural choice in significantly large virtual private networks (VPNs). In this context IETF Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is the most promising protocol under permanent review. We have made a humble effort to pinpoint IKEv2 net gain over IKEv1 due to recent modifications in its original structure, along with a brief overview of salient improvements between the two versions. We have used US National Institute of Technology NIIST VPN simulator to get some comparisons of important performance metrics. }, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {6}, year = {2007}, pages = {1805 - 1808}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/11377}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/6}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 6, 2007}, }
