Assume a scenario where a user initiates a VPN tunnel using a remote access client. Once

the connection is established, all packets would be sent through the VPN tunnel which is

created. This would also apply for internet bound packets. Internet bound packets should

not be sent through the VPN tunnel. To avoid internet packets to be sent through the

tunnel, split tunneling feature is used. When the feature is enabled, all internet packets

would be sent through the adapter which is associated with the internet connection on the

client and not through the VPN tunnel.
