<h1 class="topictitle1">Configure Extended Sequence Number (ESN)</h1>
<div><p>You can use Extended Sequence Number (ESN) to increase the data
transfer rate for a VPN connection.</p>
<div class="section">If you use the AH protocol or the ESP protocol and AES as the encryption
algorithm you might want to enable ESN. ESN allows you to transmit large volumes
of data at a high speed with out re-keying. The VPN connection uses a 64-bit
sequence numbers instead of 32-bit numbers over IPSec. Using 64-bit sequence
numbers allows more time before re-keying, which prevents sequence number
exhaustion and minimizes the use of system resources.<p>To enable ESN on a
VPN connection follow these steps:</p>
