Implementing Secure Solutions with Virtual Private Networks (SVPN) — Question 162

Cisco AnyConnect clients need to transfer large files over the VPN sessions. Which protocol provides the best throughput?

Answer options

• A. SSL/TLS
• B. L2TP
• C. DTLS
• D. IPsec IKEv1

Correct answer: C

Explanation

DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) is designed to provide low-latency and high-throughput over VPN connections, making it ideal for large file transfers. In contrast, SSL/TLS is not optimized for high throughput, L2TP lacks encryption by itself, and IPsec IKEv1 may not handle the same level of performance as DTLS in this context.
