With
point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP), security was too thin, and access was all or nothing; once the tunnel was opened, the whole world had access to JRI's network.
It combines the best of Cisco's Layer 2 Forwarding protocol and Microsoft's
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
Additional features of the WireSpeed R517 modem include Virtual Private Network (VPN) support via
Point-To-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) for telecommuters who need to access their corporate network from their homes or satellite offices; True Always On feature that allows users to configure modem to remember the system's security password; and Port Forwarding that allows users to safely play gaming applications over the Internet while their local network remains secure.
The prevailing standard for tunneling is Microsoft's
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), which is supported within Windows 95/98 and Windows NT.
Other alternatives include Microsoft's
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), and L2TP, which combines PPTP with the similar Cisco Systems' Layer 2 Forwarding Protocol.
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced availability of the Nucleus[R]
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) software.
Microsoft's
point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP) creates tunnels for transporting multiprotocol traffic over the Internet, but its capabilities are more limited than IPSec's.
The
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a networking technology widely used for implementing Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
Three popular tunneling protocols have emerged: Microsoft's
point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP), the Layer 2 tunneling protocol (L2TP), and the IP security protocol (IPSec) which is backed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
Furthermore, enterprises must select from multiple protocols,
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), IP Security (IPSec) protocol and MPLS.
The most prevalent tunneling protocols are the
point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP) and IPSec.
EtherFast uses
point-to-point tunneling protocol, so users can access other networks in a VPN via the Internet over a secure connection.
