RE: VPN connection + tunnels

No, no always.

Just to take IPSec as an example-

In IPsec, it is possible to setup multiple pairs of IPSec SAs between tunnel
endpoints for the purpose of carrying different traffic types (you can do
this by configuring multiple sets of traffic selectors [multiple lines in
your crypto access lists]). This can be useful for preventing anti-replay
traffic drops in an IPSec VPN where QoS is supported in the backbone network
between the IPSec peers. Actually, this is usually not required even with
QoS in the backbone, but it is doable.

IKEv2 actually allows the negotiation of IPSec SAs with *identical* traffic
selectors between IPSec peers (something not allowed by IKEv1), each of
which can support, for example, a seperate level of QoS.

Hope that helps,

Mark
