I work at a large international development charity in London, as International Operations Manager. I manage a team of Regional ICT Service Managers, based in developing world countries, who keep our users happy through fixing problems, setting up great connectivity and generally making sure users can do their day jobs.

I previously worked at the same place as International Network Systems Analyst. I looked after a bunch of ICT systems in offices in the developing world, as well as looking after systems in our HQ. I gained a lot of knowledge in that job, and the techy side competes with the people stuff in the new role, hence I still hang out here a lot.

I'm passionate about the use of ICT in developing countries, both in terms of dealing with the inherent problems for ICT in those places, and using ICT as a tool for development.

comment What can an ISP do to block IPSEC traffic?
The list you gave is useful. The commentary was not necessary or particularly helpful.

We tested the ASA on a connection going through another ISP. It worked. The ISP has admitted the problem is likely at their end.

comment AES Encryption License for ASA series?
Fair point. And I noticed that 3DES is available in the base install. My guess is that you have to specifically request an ASA without 3DES not to get it.

Hopefully the default rule is REJECT in which case you wouldn't have to define the second rule.

Read up on fragmentation here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_fragmentation. I'm sure you will be able to measure some level of performance improvement, but whether you will notice is what I would question. You are only pushing data around a small network with a small number of users. It probably isn't worth the effort apart from the educational value of course :-)
