Paktronix Systems Announces Linux VPN with Hardware Encryption
OMAHA, NE - March 15, 1999 Paktronix Systems announced today the
availability of a Linux based IPSec VPN solution. The Paktronix
Systems IPSec VPN connects multiple networks together
across the Internet at speeds up to DS-3 (45Mbps).
Features:
Hardware IPSec Engine All IPSec functions, including 3DES
encryption, are done in hardware. The CPU of the firewall
system is completely free to deal with firewall and advanced
security functions. The IPSec hardware is not directly
connected to any physical network thus providing maximal
protection and management of the VPN data streams.
Exportable 3DES Hardware The hardware IPSec solution we use
is exportable. Please contact us if you are interested in
obtaining Linux VPN IPSec solutions for export at this
address: international@paktronix.com
Advanced Routing and Filtering Structures The Linux 2.2
kernel provides full RFC compliance for all network routing
functions. We can route by source address, tag packets for
special routing treatment, utilize multiple default routes,
perform NAT based on packet header criteria, and provide
stable auto-loadbalance and failover routing capabilities.
Controlling the routing structure allows decisions on VPN
paths to be made without involving the IPSec card. VPN
structures can be enabled for only designated addresses and
networks without any overhead within the IPSec protocols.
Transparent Integration Paktronix Systems Firewalls with
IPSec VPN still retain full firewall functionality. The VPN
subsystem integrates so transparently that the VPN can be
enabled, disabled, or modified during runtime operation
without any effect on the firewall operation. This is due to
the modular design of the Paktronix Systems Firewall. More
information can be found at http://www.paktronix.com/products/.
