Technical specifications for Remote VPN

Technical features

  • Standards-Based Technology. IP VPN Remote Services rely on industry standard tunneling (IPSec, L2TP, and PPTP) and encryption (DES and 3DES) protocols.
  • Load Balancing and Fail-Over Support. These additional features help ensure the reliability of IP VPN Remote Services.
  • Split Tunneling. Companies can provide simultaneous Internet and intranet connectivity via IP VPN Remote Services.

Technology requirements

  • Dedicated Connection. A dedicated T1 or T3 connection to Verizon Business' global IP backbone is required.
  • Customer Premises Equipment.
  • Nortel VPN Router. This VPN gateway connects directly to the company's Ethernet network and runs Nortel Extranet Access software. The Nortel VPN Router can be configured to permit PPTP, L2TP, Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) tunnels and SSL.
  • Cisco Concentrator Router. This terminating router can be managed in-house or management can be outsourced to Verizon Business. The Cisco Concentrator permits L2TP and IPSec tunnels.
  • Remote Access. Network access is available for end-users via dial-up, DSL, cable, or wireless connections.
  • Client Software. This software establishes tunnels from the end-user's PC through the network and runs on Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems.

Implementation path

Before implementation begins, your Verizon Business sales representatives may engage different teams within your organization to evaluate your network needs, to help ensure your business gets the most effective VPN solution. Verizon Business engineers will also review your proposal and verify that the IP VPN Remote Services solution is the best one for your organization.

  1. As part of the implementation process, Verizon Business is required by the U.S. federal government to perform and export screening that verifies applicable countries allow the import and export of encrypting routers and encryption technology.
  2. After the contract is signed, Verizon Business engineers receive orders for the dial portion and the dedicated T1 or T3 connections.
  3. Installation timeframes begin once the installation group receives all approved paperwork.
  4. The Cisco router and the Contivity/Cisco hardware is configured prior to sending it to your location.

Protect your data with state-of-the-art security from Verizon Business

IP VPNs use industry-standard tunneling, encryption, and authentication to provide secure and private data services over a shared network infrastructure.

How it works

  • Tunnels allow private network sessions to run inside public network sessions (IPSec)
  • Encryption is used to “scramble” confidential information as it travels across the shared network (DES or 3DES)
  • Authentication determines if the gateway or user is allowed access
  • Authorization mandates what the user is permitted to do on the network

The technologies

Securing the data

  • IPSec protects/authenticates IP packets between IPSec devices
  • DES and 3DES invoke 56-bit keys to encrypt 64-bit blocks of data
  • Firewalls can help protect your network—and your PCs—from port-scanning, intrusion, and other malicious acts
  • PKI lets public network users exchange data more securely using digital certificates
  • Strong Authentication combines something the user has and something the user knows

Tunneling

Tunneling is a means of sending traffic to a destination by encapsulating data packets.

  • IP Security (IPSec) has become one of the most widely used means of securing data by many VPN component manufacturers:
    • Protects/authenticates IP packets
    • Provides for authentication, confidentiality, and integrity
    • Enables split tunneling
  • Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) can be used two ways:
    • As a means of destination management
    • As a network-based tunnel tool by Internet service providers

Encryption

Encryption renders sensitive data useless if intercepted by unintended parties.

  • DES invokes keys to encrypt, or scramble, blocks of data
  • Both sender and receiver must use the same key when sending and receiving the message
  • Triple DES (3DES) achieves a higher level of security by encrypting the data three times over
