  1. Internet and Intranet Fundamentals Class 9 Session C

  2. Virtual Private Networks • What is it? • Technology Basis • GTE’s VPN Advantage

  3. VPNWhat is it? • Used to mean shared public telecom lines • e.g., frame relay vs. dedicated leased lines • Now it means securely tunneling over the Internet • extending a private Intranet across the Internet • I.e. enabling an Extranet • compatible with older meaning because Internet is shared public infrastructure

  4. VPNWhat is it?

  5. Before VPNs

  6. VPNWhat is it? • Features • security • QOS • router conspiracies?

  7. VPNWhat is it? • Benefits • cost reduction: shared public infrastructure such as Internet only requires local connectivity • point-to-point leased lines are mileage sensitive • 20-40% for LAN-LAN • 60-80% for remote access • ubiquity: the Internet is everywhere • the Internet is the data dial-tone • can enable companies with no private network to create one virtually

  8. VPNWhat is it? • An Important Trend • Gartner Group predicts nearly 100% of all businesses will use VPNs to supplement their WANs by 2003

  9. Technology Basis • Encryption • Phase 1: encrypt payload but not header • Phase 2: encrypt both payload and header and encapsulate in another IP packet • Lots of “Standards” to Choose From • Cisco L2F = Layer 2 Forwarding • MS PPTP • MS and Cisco L2TP = Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol

  10. Technology Basis • Data Integrity Technology • MD-5 = message digest • SHA = Secure Hashing Algorithm • Authentication

  11. Technology BasisLayer 2 Forwarding • Developed by Cisco • Company Gateway is a Cisco router • Internet Direct VPN being launched • How It Works • end-user exchanges PPP with ISP at POP • router at ISP communicates with company router via L2F

  12. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s PPTP • Extension to PPP • Company Gateway is NT RAS server • Included with Win 95, 98, NT • Supports IP, IPX, and NetBEUI • Client-Server Protocol decouples functions in Network Access Servers (NAS) • PPTP Access Concentrator (PAC) (client) • PPTP Network Server (PNS) (server)

  13. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s PPTP • PPTP Access Concentrator (PAC) • device attached to one or more PSTN or ISDN lines capable of PPP operation and of handling PPTP protocol • PAC needs only to implement TCP/IP to pass traffic to one or more PNSs • May also tunnel non-IP protocols

  14. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s PPTP • PPTP Network Server (PNS) • envisioned to operate on general-purpose computing/server platforms • handles server side of PPTP protocol • relies completely on TCP/IP • is independent of interface hardware • may use any combination of IP interface hardware including LAN and WAN devices

  15. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s PPTP • Specifies call-control and management protocol • allows server to control access for dial-in circuit switched calls originating from PSTN or ISDN • or to initiate outbound circuit-switched connections.

  16. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s PPTP • Uses enhanced GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) mechanism • provides a flow- and congestion-controlled encapsulated datagram service for carrying PPP packets.

  17. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s and Cicso’s L2TP • L2TP extends PPP model • allows L2 and PPP endpoints to reside on different devices interconnected by packet-switched network • a user has L2 connection to access concentrator (e.g., modem bank, ADSL DSLAM, etc.) • concentrator then tunnels individual PPP frames to the NAS • allows actual processing of PPP packets to be divorced from termination of L2 circuit

  18. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s and Cicso’s L2TP • L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC) • node that acts as one side of an L2TP tunnel endpoint and is peer to L2TP Network Server (LNS) • sits between an LNS and remote system and forwards packets to and from each • packets sent from LAC to LNS require tunneling with L2TP protocol • connection from LAC to remote system is either local (see: Client LAC) or a PPP link

  19. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s and Cicso’s L2TP • L2TP Network Server (LNS) • node that acts as one side of an L2TP tunnel endpoint • peer to L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC) • termination point of PPP session being tunneled from remote system by LAC

  20. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s and Cicso’s L2TP

  21. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s and Cicso’s L2TP

  22. Technology BasisMicrosoft’s and Cicso’s L2TP • Three levels of end-to-end QoS service • Best Effort Service --Provides basic connectivity with no guarantees • Differentiated Service -- Some traffic is treated better than rest (more bandwidth on average, lower loss rate on average) • statistical preference; not a hard and fast guarantee • Guaranteed Service -- An absolute reservation of network resources for specific traffic

  23. Genuity’s VPN Advantage • See Web Site • http://www.genuity.com/services/security/vpnadvantage/index.htm • Managed VPN Service • SLA on Dedicated Access • 99.9% Availability • 125 ms Latency
