Can somebody give me an idea of how this secure tunnel network architecture is deployed? Can I configure my windows computer to optimize the functioning of the tunnel network? Is this concept applicable to web networking or can I apply some of the principles to a small scale LAN network?
What is secure tunnel network architecture?
Secured tunnel is the process by which the data are transmitted over the network. Especially in the Internet data transfer. Each bit of information originate from a computer passes through different network devices like modems / switches / routers etc. From the source point to the destination point, in between, there is many inter related networks which check the data loss / encryption / security and many things are involved. When tunneling is done, the originated data is reached in the destination in a well secured manner with 100% accuracy.
Windows computer can not be configured for tunneling. Tunneling is done in a network device called ' ROUTERS '. The routers have its own commands to be programmed.
Tunneling is mostly done in a WAN environment which need the data from one office to be transmitted over the public network like Internet. Tunneling is not mostly done in a LAN environment.
