The tables on this page describe some of the many features supported by VPNC's members in their IPsec software and hardware. The tables are presented in a variety of formats in order to give the best view on a variety of web browsers.
The first table is the legend to the features listed in the tables. After that, there is a Java applet that allows you to keep the row and column headings on your screen as you scroll around the chart. (The applet is about 100K.) That is followed by a standard HTML table that may not fit on your screen, particularly if you are not using small fonts. The last two tables list the same information, first by VPNC member company, then by feature.
For more information on the standards listed in this chart, please see the VPN standards pages.
