What Are the Bits of the DH Groups Used by Huawei Cloud VPN?

The Diffie-Hellman (DH) groups determine the strength of the key used in the key exchange process. Higher DH group numbers are usually more secure, but extra time is required to calculate the key.

Table 1 lists the bits corresponding to the DH groups used by VPN.
