passthrough protocols supported by the 11n Router are briefly
described below.
■
Internet Protocol Security — IPsec encrypts and authenticates
entire IP packets and encapsulates them into new IP packets for
secure communications between networks.
■
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol — Provides a secure tunnel
for remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes
provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.
■
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol — L2TP merges the best features of
PPTP and the Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F) protocol. Like PPTP, L2TP
requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.
