Title: Virtual Private Network

Area: Network Security


Abstract:

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are today becoming the most universal method
for remote access. They enable Service Provider to take advantage of the power
of the Internet by providing a private tunnel through the public cloud to realize
cost savings and productivity enhancements from remote access applications.
VPN meets the four key enterprise requirements of compatibility, security,
availability and manageability. A VPN is an extension of an enterprise’s private
intranet across a public network (the Internet) creating a secure private
connection, essentially through a private tunnel. VPNs securely convey
information across the Internet connection remote users, branch offices, and
business partners into an extended corporate network.

Introduction:

A virtual private network is a way to simulate a private network


over a public network, such as the Internet. It is called "virtual" because it
depends on the use of virtual connections—that is, temporary connections that
have no real physical presence, but consist of packets routed over various
machines on the Internet on an ad hoc basis. Secure virtual connections are
created between two machines, a machine and a network, or two networks.

Using the Internet for remote access saves a lot of money. You'll be able to dial in
wherever your Internet service provider (ISP) has a point-of-presence (POP). If
you choose an ISP with nationwide POPs, there's a good chance your LAN will
be a local phone call away. Some ISPs have expanded internationally as well, or
have alliances with ISPs overseas. Even many of the smaller ISPs have toll-free
numbers for their roaming users. At the time of this writing, unlimited access dial-
up PPP accounts, suitable for business use, are around $25 per month per user. At
any rate, well-chosen ISP accounts should be cheaper than setting up a modem
pool for remote users and paying the long-distance bill for roaming users. Even
toll-free access from an ISP is typically cheaper than having your own toll-free
number, because ISPs purchase hours in bulk from the long-distance companies.

In many cases, long-haul connections of networks are done with a leased line, a
connection to a frame relay network, or ISDN. We've already mentioned the costs
of leasing a "high cap" leased line such as a T1. Frame relay lines can also give
you high speeds without the mileage charges. You purchase a connection to a
frame cloud, which connects you through switches to your destination. Unlike a
leased line, the amount you pay is based more on the bandwidth that's committed
to your circuit than distance.

Frame connections are still somewhat expensive, however. ISDN, like the plain
old telephone system, incurs long-distance charges. In many locations, the local
telephone company charges per minute even for local calls, which again runs
expenses up. For situations where corporate office networks are in separate cities,
having each office get a T1, frame relay, or ISDN line to an ISP's local POP
would be much cheaper than connecting the two offices using these technologies.
A VPN could then be instituted between the routers at the two offices, over the
Internet. In addition, a VPN will allow you to consolidate your Internet and WAN
connections into a single router and single line, saving you money on equipment
and telecommunications infrastructure.

Objectives:

• To understand the concept of Virtual Private Network


• Secure remote access for users anywhere, anytime.
• Affordability for widespread corporate use.
Applications:
 Large-scale encryption between multiple fixed sites such as remote offices
and central offices
 Network traffic is sent over the branch office Internet connection
 This saves the company hardware and management expenses
 Encrypted connections between mobile or remote users and their corporate
networks
 Remote user can make a local call to an ISP, as opposed to a long distance
call to the corporate remote access server.
 Ideal for a telecommuter or mobile sales people.
 VPN allows mobile workers & telecommuters to take advantage of
broadband connectivity.
i.e. DSL, Cable
