Layer Two Tunneling Protocol(L2TP)

L2TP, WHICH STANDS FOR LAYER 2 TUNNELING PROTOCOL, IS A NETWORKING PROTOCOL USED TO CREATE SECURE VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS (VPNS).

PURPOSE:

L2TP ITSELF DOESN'T PROVIDE ENCRYPTION OR AUTHENTICATION.

ITS PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO ESTABLISH A "TUNNEL" BETWEEN YOUR DEVICE AND A VPN SERVER, ENCAPSULATING YOUR DATA PACKETS WITHIN ANOTHER LAYER OF INFORMATION.

THIS TUNNEL ACTS AS A SECURE CHANNEL FOR TRANSMITTING YOUR DATA OVER THE PUBLIC INTERNET.

L2TP CAN BE USED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES, INCLUDING

REMOTE ACCESS

L2TP CAN BE USED TO PROVIDE REMOTE ACCESS TO A CORPORATE NETWORK. THIS ALLOWS EMPLOYEES TO CONNECT TO THE CORPORATE NETWORK FROM HOME OR FROM A REMOTE LOCATION.

SITE-TO-SITE VPN

L2TP CAN BE USED TO CREATE A SITE-TO-SITE VPN BETWEEN TWO NETWORKS. THIS ALLOWS TWO NETWORKS TO SECURELY COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT DIRECTLY CONNECTED.

CONTENT DELIVERY

L2TP CAN BE USED TO DELIVER CONTENT TO REMOTE USERS. THIS CAN BE USED TO DELIVER STREAMING MEDIA, SUCH AS VIDEO OR AUDIO, OR TO DELIVER SOFTWARE UPDATES TO REMOTE DEVICES.

L2TP IS A VERSATILE PROTOCOL THAT CAN BE USED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES. IT IS A RELIABLE AND SECURE PROTOCOL THAT CAN BE USED TO CREATE SECURE VPN CONNECTIONS.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF USING L2TP

IT IS A RELIABLE AND SECURE PROTOCOL.

IT CAN BE USED TO CREATE A VARIETY OF VPN CONNECTIONS.

IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH A WIDE RANGE OF DEVICES AND PLATFORMS.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS OF USING L2TP

IT IS NOT AS WIDELY SUPPORTED AS SOME OTHER VPN PROTOCOLS.

IT CAN BE MORE COMPLEX TO CONFIGURE THAN SOME OTHER VPN PROTOCOLS.

IT DOES NOT PROVIDE AS MUCH SECURITY AS SOME OTHER VPN PROTOCOLS.

TCP/IP MODEL

HISTORY OF TCP/IP MODEL THE TCP/IP MODEL WAS DEVELOPED BY VINT CERF AND BOB KAHN IN THE 1970S. THEY WERE BOTH WORKING AT THE DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY (DARPA) AT THE TIME. Vint Cerf And Bob Kahn CERF AND KAHN WERE TASKED WITH DEVELOPING A NEW NETWORK PROTOCOL THAT WOULD BE MORE RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT THAN THE EXISTING PROTOCOLS. THEY CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF USING A LAYERED APPROACH, WHICH WOULD ALLOW EACH LAYER TO FOCUS ON A SPECIFIC TASK. THIS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TCP/IP MODEL, WHICH IS STILL THE BASIS FOR HOW DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET TODAY. CERF AND KAHN ARE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "FATHERS OF THE INTERNET" FOR THEIR WORK ON THE TCP/IP MODEL. THEY WERE INDUCTED INTO THE NATIONAL INVENTORS HALL OF FAME IN 2004 FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET. HERE ARE SOME OTHER NOTABLE PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TCP/IP MODEL: JON POSTEL: POSTEL WAS THE FIRST CHAIRMAN OF THE INTERNET ENGINEERI...

Internet Protocol (IP) Address

IP ADDRESS IT IS A UNIQUE ADDRESS THAT WE CAN ASSIGN TO DEVICE .SO THAT DEVICECAN COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. WE CANNAOT ASSIGN SAME IP ADDRESS IN ANY TWO DEVICES IN OUR NETWORK. IF WE WILL DO THIS THEN IT WILL BE CAUSE A CONFLICT ERROR. TWO VERSION OF IP ADDRESS: 1: IPV4 ; 2: IPV6 ; IPV4 32 BITS AND IPV6 128 BITS. AN IP ADDRESS, OR INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS, IS A SERIES OF NUMBERS THAT IDENTIFIES ANY DEVICE ON A NETWORK. COMPUTERS USE IP ADDRESSES TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER BOTH OVER THE INTERNET AS WELL AS ON OTHER NETWORKS. TO FIND THE IP ADDRESS CLASS WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE FIRST DIGIT OF THE IP ADDRESS. AND BY LOOKING AT THE FIRST DIGIT, WE CAN GUESS THE SUBNET MASK TO WHICH CLASS IT BELONGS. CLASS A IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.0.0.0 CLASS B IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.255.0.0 CLASS C IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0 IANA TABLE IP RANGES IANA ( Internet Assigned Numbers Au...
