Anyconnect Client VPN Stats

[TobiasHilbert]

Hello,

I recently looked at the vpn statistics export of my anyconnect client and found two interesting entries:

Protocol Info
    Active Protocol
        Protocol Cipher:  RSA_AES_128_SHA1
        Protocol Compression:  None
        Protocol State:  Connected
        Protocol:  DTLS
    Inactive Protocol
        Protocol Cipher:  ECDHE_RSA_AES256_GCM_SHA384
        Protocol Compression:  None
        Protocol State:  Connected
        Protocol:  TLSv1.2

Can someone please explain what those two entires exactly mean. (Active vs. Inactive Protocol)

I am asuming that active protocol means the currently used crypto algorithms. But what does ist try to tell me with the inactive protocol?

any hints would be much appreciated

kind regards

Tobias

 - I guess it means that the mentioned protocol-parameters such as 

ECDHE_RSA_AES256_GCM_SHA384

and  

TLSv1.2

are not being used.
