Overview

Get complete answers to all your VPN questions in Building and Managing Virtual Private Networks. International networking guru Dave Kosiur provides a candid assessment of the current state of VPN technology. With the help of fascinating and informative case studies based on the experiences of organizations at the forefront of the VPN revolution, he clearly explains the basic concepts and technologies involved, as well as the business reasons for making the switch to an Internet-based network. And he provides practical guidance on all aspects of designing, building, and managing the best VPN for your organization.

Designed for business professionals, IT managers and network managers, this informed, objective and technically oriented text discusses VPN construction, maintenance and business enterprises. Author Dave Kosiur points out that one of the most confusing aspects of VPNs is that all vendors have their own definitions and ideas of what constitutes VPNs and none of them agree. This publication admirably sorts out VPN technologies, procedures and concepts.
