| Summary : Create a virtual ethernet using host-to-host tunnels
|
Description :
VPE creates a virtual ethernet (broadcasts supported, any protocol that works
with a normal ethernet should work with VPE) by creating host-to-host tunnels
between multiple endpoints.
Unlike other virtual private \"network\" solutions which merely create a single
tunnel, VPE creates a real network with multiple endpoints.
It is designed to be very simple (cipher selection done at compiletime etc.),
and easy to setup (only a single config file shared unmodified between all
hosts).
Vpn hosts can neither sniff nor fake packets, that is, you can use MAC-based
filtering to ensure authenticity of packets even from member nodes.
VPE can also be used to tunnel into some vpn network using a variety of
protocols (https-proxy, tcp, udp, rawip, icmp-tunneling). It is, however,
primarily designed to sit on the gateway machines of company branches to
connect them together.
