establishing a plurality of VPN tunnels between the first bonded VTI and a second bonded VTI configured on a second gateway;
forming, from the plurality of VPN tunnels, an Internet Protocol Security (“IPsec”) VPN tunnel between the first bonded VTI the second bonded VTI; and
enabling communications of IPsec VPN traffic between the first gateway and the second gateway via the IPsec VPN tunnel.
