[c-nsp] IPSEC Transport mode

We need to find a way to encrypt the data BEFORE the acceleration and from what I've read, is not possible to accelerate TCP when the data is inside an encrypted tunnel, so the possible way to be able to spoof the TCP is in transport mode instead of tunnel mode of the IPSec.
But that's only based on what I've read on the web, perhaps I'm missing something.
If the only way to do it is using only two routers, is somebody willing to share a sample config of a GRE/IPIP tunnel with transport encryption within?
Thanks,
Ziv

Ziv,

I have a setup very similar to what you describe, a transport mode
tunnel between two 3725s connected via satellite. We have accelerators
in place but I'm not familiar with them. It's a fairly standard setup;
what do you need to know?
