Cost savings
•Enable organizations to use cost-effective, third-party Internet transport to connect remote offices and remote users to the main site.
Scalability
•Enable organizations to use the Internet infrastructure within ISPs and devices, which makes it easy to add new users.
Compatibility with broadband technology
•Allow mobile workers and telecommuters to take advantage of high-speed, broadband connectivity, such as DSL and cable, to gain access to the networks of their organization, providing workers flexibility and efficiency.
•Provide a cost-effective solution for connecting remote offices.
Security
•Can include security mechanisms that provide the highest level of security by using advanced encryption and authentication protocols that protect data from unauthorized access.
Connect entire networks to each other, in the past, a leased line or Frame Relay connection was required to connect sites, but because most corporations now have Internet access, these connections can be replaced with site-to-site VPNs.
Internal hosts have no knowledge that a VPN exists.
Created when devices on both sides of the VPN connection are aware of the VPN configuration in advance.
End hosts send and receive normal TCP/IP traffic through a VPN gateway.
The VPN gateway is responsible for encapsulating and encrypting outbound traffic for all traffic from a particular site
The VPN gateway then sends it through a VPN tunnel over the Internet to a peer VPN gateway at the target site.
Upon receipt, the peer VPN gateway strips the headers, decrypts the content, and relays the packet toward the target host inside its private network.
