Intranets and Virtual Private Networks

"This tutorial explores the benefits of a private corporate network and reviews a traditional wide-area network (WAN) architecture implementation. It then compares the WAN model to present-day private-networking strategies, specifically examining two types of modern private-network implementations: encryption-based VPNs and private networks based on frame-relay permanent virtual circuits (PVCs). It also reviews important security issues associated with the different technologies used to implement a private network."

From the International Engineering Consortium.

Redundant Routes in IPSec VPNs

"Building a virtual private network (VPN) using IP Security Protocol (IPSec) is a popular cost-saving approach to wide area networking. One disadvantage of using a VPN is the scarcity of convenient tools to provide resilience in the face of router, firewall, or network failure. The challenge is to automatically detect failure of an IPSec connection so that an alternate route can be used. This white paper looks at two different approaches Networking Unlimited, inc. has used to meet the challenge: using a GRE tunnel to make the IPSec transport appear as a point-to-point link so that conventional routing protocols such as OSPF or EIGRP can be used, and using a routing protocol which does not require 'neighbors' to be adjacent such as BGP directly over the IPSec transport. Example Cisco router configurations, adapted from production networks designed by Networking Unlimited, Inc., are provided for each approach."
