Featured VPNC Member White Paper

One of the more popular features on VPNC's web site is our extensive list of white papers from our members. These cover a range of topics from VPN basics to cryptography. As interesting new white papers appear, we will list them in the VPNC Update.

Preserving End-to-End Quality of Service For IP VPNs Over MPLS Satellite Networks from Encore Networks discusses an interesting and often-ignored problem for trusted VPNs, namely how to measure and maintain QoS in high-latency environments. While most people think of QoS as applying to systems like optical connections, satellites can often be an important connection mechanism for companies with remote sites. The paper describes how performance-enhancement proxies (PEPs) help MPLS-based VPNs that include satellites remain stable and predictable.
