    Hi,
     
    I just want to know what is preferred from the machine utilization point of view, filtering traffic through IPsec or using any software firewall like Tiny Personal, Zone Alarm etc. Microsoft's documentation states that IPsec rules do affect the performance of the machine on which they are applied. Is there any proper guideline or 'thinks to remember' for implementing a performance and security affective IPsec or any firewall structure.
     
    Thanks in advance.
     
    Regards,
