On-Demand VPN Service between Home Networks for NGN Users
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an on-demand VPN service for home NGN users. This service enables users to connect home LANs without setting up complex network configurations. Users can specify a destination LAN by dialing a telephone number on an ordinary telephone terminal. We developed prototype residential gateways to provide the on-demand VPN service. The gateways find the IP addresses of peer gateways and suitable port numbers for VPN establishment from telephone numbers by SIP. We also implemented a remote consumer electronics cooperation function on the gateways so users can show videos on their video recorders to people at other locations. We conducted a usability test of our on-demand VPN system and obtained positive feedback from the users.
