RSS layer networkWhy Replace Your IPSec for Remote Access
White Paper It alone offers a layer 3 tunnel and layer 4-7 control, making it ideal for replacing IPSec for remote access. Aventail’s patent-pending Smart TunnelingTM is revolutionary in delivering full network access. [02 Sep 2008]
Aventail Smart Tunneling: Use and Security Assessment
White Paper A new, patent-pending technology—Aventail® Smart Tunneling—revolutionizes remote access, providing a Layer 3 connection with Layers 4 to 7 policy control and enabling you to manage policy at a granular level while ensuring security. [02 Sep 2008]
Understanding the OSI 7 Layer Model
White Paper This document provides a full length explanation of the OSI 7 layer model including the role of each layer and of the stack. We explain the role of each layer and of the stack. This model defines how applications running upon network-aware devices... [02 Sep 2008]
MPLS VPNs: Layer 2 or Layer 3? Understanding the Choice
White Paper Since there's been data networking, there's been a debate between switched and routed architectures - stated in OSI terms, between performing functions at Layer 3 or Layer 2. The question is, when are MPLS VPNs better implemented at Layer 3, using... [02 Sep 2008]
Sprint—Layer 2/Layer 3 Services Converged Over Common IP Backbone Via L2TPv3 in Cisco IOS Software
White Paper A network convergence strategy expected to get top attention from service providers in the next few years is the ability to offer traditional Layer 2 transport protocols over a Layer 3 native Internet Protocol (IP) core. [02 Sep 2008]
Virtual Private Networking with Windows Server 2003: Overview
White Paper Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and Layer Two Tunneling Protocol with Internet Protocol security (L2TP/IPSec) are described as the two industry standard methods for VPN connections. This white paper provides an overview of virtual private... [02 Sep 2008]
Deep Packets: Application Layer Security Threats
White Paper What is needed is application layer filtering software, such as Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004, which not only helps protect against rogue packets and network attacks but also checks for more advanced attacks. [02 Sep 2008]
Building Secure Wireless Local Area Networks
White Paper But this conclusion is flawed since it places the burden for security at the physical layer instead of at the network layer where it makes much more sense. Ubiquitous network access without wires. Essentially, the inability to physically secure a... [02 Sep 2008]
Energy-Efficient MAC-PHY Resource Management With Guaranteed QoS in Wireless OFDM Networks
White Paper Most of the current resource management algorithms are confined to a single layer of the network protocol stack, which leads to an inferior system performance. This paper proposes a joint MAC-PHY layer resource allocation algorithm. [10 Aug 2008]
On the Separation of Channel and Network Coding in Aref Networks
White Paper In this paper it is shown that one cannot always layer, or separate, channel and network coding for multicasting in deterministic relay networks with no interference. The authors call such networks Aref networks. [10 Aug 2008]
Geometric Broadcast Protocol for Heterogeneous Sensor Networks
White Paper While broadcasting is a very energy expensive protocol, it is also widely used as a building block for a variety of other network layer protocols. GBS is scalable to the change in network size, node type, node density and topology. [09 Aug 2008]
The Impact of Messaging and Web Threats - An Osterman Research White Paper
White Paper In this paper, you will learn the variety of ways messaging and web security capabilities can be managed, how to define a multi-layer defense strategy and implement key techniques, and anticipate future trends in the messaging threat landscape. [07 Aug 2008]
A Network Layer Architecture for Personal Networks
White Paper It will undoubtedly be the network layer that should integrate a person's all devices and networks into one single network for the person; the Personal Network. This paper introduces a network layer architecture for PNs that can handle the dynamic... [04 Aug 2008]
Adaptation of Scalable Media at Network Layer Using Cross-Layer Information
White Paper This information allows e.g.the network layer to efficiently adapt to network congestions and the link and physical layers to apply efficient error protection schemes tailored for media delivery. It is required to provide detailed information about... [04 Aug 2008]
Layer 3 Switching for Secure Networks
White Paper The adoption of layer 3 switches with security functionality simplifies network management and reduces cost of ownership and can also provide resiliency. Enterprises also are benefiting from WAN access functionality in Layer 3 boxes, which enables... [04 Aug 2008]
