Description
FAP Interface
The secure interface to the FAPs in the network is an IPSec tunnel. The FNG uses IKEv2 for establishing the
IPSec tunnel.
Note that the FNG does not have a direct interface to the UEs in the network. The FNG receives all voice and
data traffic from the UEs via secure IPSec tunnels between the FNG and the FAPs and sends the traffic to the
operator's IMS core or PDSN/HA.
