چکیده

The term "VPN," or Virtual Private Network, has become almost as recklessly used in the networking industry as has "QoS" (Quality of Service) to describe a broad set of problems and "solutions," when the objectives themselves have not been properly articulated.

This article provides a commonsense definition of a VPN, and an overview of different approaches to building one.

RFC 4923 QoS in a Nested VPN
