Define tunneling in the VPN environment and explain the difference between voluntary and
compulsory tunnels
Solution
Tunneling is a way in which data is transferred between 2 networks securely. All the data being
transferred is fragmented into smaller packets or frames and then passed through the tunnel.this
process is different from a normal data tranfer between nodes. Every frame passing through the
tunnel will be encrypted with an additional layer of tunneling encryption and encapsulation,
which is also used for routing the packets to the right direction.this encapsulation would then be
reverted at the destination with decryption of data which is later sent to the desired node.
A Tunnel is logical path between the source and the destination endpoints between two
networks.Every packet is encapsulated at the source and de capsulated at the destination.this
process will keep happening as long as the logical tinnel is persistent between two endpoints.
tunneling is also known as the encapsulation and transmission of VPN data or packets. IPSec
tunnel mode enables IP payloads to be encrypted and encapsulated in an IP header so that it can
be sent over the corporate IP internetwork or internet.
IPSec protects secure and authenticates data between IPSec peer devices by providing per packet
data authentication. IPSec peer can be teams of hosts or teams of security gateways. Data flows
between IPSec peers are confidential and protected. The source and destination addresses are
encrypted. The original IP datagram is left in tact. The original IP header is copied and moved to
the left and becomes a new IP header. The IPSec header is inserted between these two headers.
The original IP datagram can be authenticated and encrypted.
The tunnel is the logical path or connection that encapsulated packets travel through the transit
internetwork. The tunneling protocol encrypts the original frame so that its content cannot be
interpreted. The encapsulation of VPN data traffic is known as tunneling. The Transport Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol provides the underlying transport mechanism for
VPN connectivity.
The two different types of tunneling ar e :
In this case, the client dials-in to the remote access server, by using whichever of the following
methods:
The remote access server produces a tunnel, or VPN server to tunnel the data, thereby
compelling the client to use a VPN tunnel to connect to the remote resources.
VPN tunnels can be created at the following layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
reference model:
