In this detailed guide, respected communications consultant Uyless Black gives networking professionals crucial information for designing large-scale remote access solutions, including state-of-the-art Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and business DSL implementations. You'll find detailed coverage of both the PPP and L2TP protocols, including real-world help with configuration, security, and management. Coverage includes all this, and more:

• PPP and L2TP: goals, benefits, and components
• PPP negotiation model and protocol support (IP, IPX, Appletalk)
• High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), Link Control Protocol (LCP), and Network Control Protocol (NCP)
• PPP security: encryption keys, PAP, CHAP, RADIUS, and the latest IPSec standards
• L2TP tunnel sessions, messages, traffic accounting, and security considerations
• Integrating L2TP with other protocols and services: ATM, Frame Relay, and Mobile PPP

Secure, Internet-based remote access can deliver unprecedented flexibility and cost savings to companies and professionals who know how to take advantage of it-and with this authoritative guide, you will too.
