Web-o-pedia

Short for virtual private network, a network that is constructed by using public wires to connect nodes. For example, there are a number of systems that enable you to create networks using the Internet as the medium for transporting data. These systems use encryption and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

 

 

Smart Computing

 

A private network implemented throughout or within a public network. Companies have been sharing network hardware infrastructures for some time and creating their own secure VPNs within, but network engineers today use transmission technologies such as PPTP (Point-To-Point Tunneling Protocol) to create VPNs across the largest public network of all: the Internet. This lets organizations implement secure networks with nodes throughout the world without the need for dedicated physical connections from site to site.
