This chapter looked at how VPNs can be used to extend the
corporate networks securely using public networks, such as the Internet. The two
basic VPN types are remote access and site-to-site. The three types of VPN
connectivity are access VPN, intranet VPN, and extranet VPN. The two VPN modes
are transport and tunnel.
While a variety of Layer 2 and Layer 7 VPN implementations exist,
IPSec and IETF Layer 3 standards seem to dominate the market today. IPSec
technologies include a variety of authentication and encryption methods.
