Chapter 26 - Virtual private networks and network address translation. Upon completion you will be able to: Understand the difference between an internet and an extranet, understand private, hybrid, and virtual private networks, understand how VPN can guarantee privacy, understand the mechanism of NAT. | Chapter 26 Upon completion you will be able to: Virtual Private Networks and Network Address Translation Understand the difference between an internet and an extranet Understand private, hybrid, and virtual private networks Understand how VPN can guarantee privacy Understand the mechanism of NAT Objectives TCP/IP Protocol Suite PRIVATE NETWORKS A private network is designed to be used only inside an organization. It allows access to shared resources and, at the same time, provides privacy. The topics discussed in this section include: Intranet Extranet Addressing TCP/IP Protocol Suite Table Addresses for private networks TCP/IP Protocol Suite VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS (VPN) Virtual private network (VPN) is a technology for large organizations that use the global Internet for both intra- and interorganization communication, but require privacy in their intraorganization communication. The topics discussed in this section include: Achieving Privacy VPN Technology TCP/IP Protocol Suite Figure Private network TCP/IP Protocol Suite Figure Hybrid network TCP/IP Protocol Suite Figure Virtual private network TCP/IP Protocol Suite Figure Tunneling TCP/IP Protocol Suite Figure Addressing in a VPN TCP/IP Protocol Suite NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (NAT) Network address translation (NAT) allows a site to use a set of private addresses for internal communication and a set of global Internet addresses for communication with another site. The site must have only one single connection to the global Internet through a router that runs NAT software.
