the best book i have found is Building and Managing Virtual Private Networks, by Dave Kosiur. It describes all methods of encryption and authentication. It's very good for understanding all the protocols involved.
re the vpn speed - the Cisco Pix is very fast. here is a link to their product description page. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/fw/sqfw500/ I looked into the Symantec and Sonicwall products, but their vendors couldn't even tell me how much memory the devices had. Cisco give you a very complete product description. Also, if you buy a support contract (pretty inexpensive), their tech support is outstanding. laura -----Original Message----- From: Winsley de Oliveira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 3:28 PM To: Mike Carney; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: VPN Speed Mike You can use Sonicwall firewall to make your VPN tunnels.
