+ <t>SATP is a mixture of a generic encapsulation protocol like <xref target="RFC2784">GRE</xref> and a secure tunneling protocol as <xref target="RFC2401">IPsec</xref> in tunnel mode. It can be used to build redundant virtual private network (VPN) connections. It supports peer to peer tunnels, where tunnel endpoints can be any combination of unicast, multicast or anycast hosts, so it defines a <xref target="RFC1546">Host Anycast Service</xref>. Encryption is done per packet, so the protocol is robust against packet loss and routing changes.
