About the White Paper:
This white paper describes the major technologies for virtual private networks (VPNs) used today on the Internet. The VPN market has changed significantly in the past ten years as the Internet has grown and as vastly more companies have come to rely on the Internet for communications.
The landscape of VPN products and services offered by a wide variety of vendors continues to evolve. This has caused companies whose networks need protection to become confused about what is and is not a VPN, and the features of the different VPN systems that are being offered to them. The descriptions and definitions in this white paper should help to reduce the confusion for VPN customers, as well as to aid VPN vendors in describing their offerings in a useful fashion. |
