A feature of Enterasys Networks products that provides remote users with a
list of ISPs, phone numbers of available POPs, and connection rates. The
master TollSaver database is maintained on the
Aurorean Policy Server
and
downloaded to the
Aurorean Client
over the
management channel
portion of the tunnel connection.
Tunneling
Technology that lets a network transport protocol carry information for other
protocols within its own packets. For example, by encapsulating NetBEUI
packets, IP can route them across the Internet, which is not normally possible.
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
An extension of a company’s private network that uses the resources of the
public Internet. While most private networks use dedicated lines and
equipment that are company property, a virtual private network “borrows”
resources from the Internet on an as-needed basis.
