A Prototype-based Evaluation of IP Technologies for Mobile VPN
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual Private Networks have evolved considerably over the last few years, reaching their full maturity in fixed networks such as ATM, frame relay and the Internet. Wireless and cellular networks pose, however, more stringent requirements that have not yet been fully addressed. In order to assess the suitability of state-of-the-art technologies for the realization of mobile VPNs over the Internet, we have built a prototype based on Mobile IPv6 and IPsec. We report here the most significant findings on IP-based MVPNs over wireless LAN, GPRS and UMTS, highlighting capabilities and limitations. Our results indicate that we are just a step away from seeing commercially viable products, although there is still space for improvement as far as standardization and performance are concerned.

Policy-based hybrid management architecture for IP-based VPN
Using IP-based Virtual Private Network (IP-VPN) technology, a company can establish its virtual private network over public networks. Recently, IP-VPN emerges as one of main technologies for increasing business competitiveness with reasonable costs. The standards for IP-VPN are currently being developed by Internet Engineering Task Forces (IETF) and others. In this paper, we identify the limita...

Virtual private networking (VPN) has become an increasingly important component of a collaboration environment because it ensures private, authenticated communication among participants, using existing collaboration tools, where users are distributed across multiple institutions and can be mobile. The majority of current VPN solutions are based on a centralized VPN model, where all IP traffic i...
متن کاملBuilding ALL-IP Based Virtual Private Networks in Mobile Environment
Security mechanisms such as firewalls commonly deployed throughout the Internet present serious obstacles to basic usage of Mobile IP. In this paper we describe how IP security mechanisms can be integrated with Mobile IP to create a mobile VPN. In this context, this work describes a prototype implementation of an integrated environment for secure, inter-domain, mobile communications for an exis...
متن کاملSecure Transparent Mobile IP for Intelligent Transportation Systems
In this paper we discuss the issues of wireless mobile networks for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and examine several available technologies. Furthermore, we propose a design of secure transparent mobile IP to provide broadband ITS services over wireless LAN that improves upon security, transparency and handoff of mobile IP. The proposed design adopts a tunnel-in-tunnel mechanism for...
متن کاملScalable IP-VPN Flow Control Mechanism
In recent years, IP-based virtual private networks (IP-VPNs), which provide a virtual privately owned network over an IP network, have attracted attention. With existing IP-VPNs, however, there is a serious problem that fairness among IPVPN customers is not satisfied. In our previous work, we have proposed an IP-VPN fairness control mechanism called I2VFC (Interand Intra-VPN Fairness Control) t...
