N2N: a Layer Two Peer-To-Peer VPN
N2N: A Layer Two Peer-to-Peer VPN Luca Deri1, Richard Andrews2 ntop.org, Pisa, Italy1 Symstream Technologies, Melbourne, Australia2 {deri, andrews}@ntop.org Abstract. The Internet was originally designed as a flat data network delivering a multitude of protocols and services between equal peers. Currently, after an explosive growth fostered by enormous and heterogeneous economic interests, it has become a constrained network severely enforcing client-server communication where addressing plans, packet routing, security policies and users’ reachability are almost entirely managed and limited by access providers. From the user’s perspective, the Internet is not an open transport system, but rather a telephony-like communication medium for content consumption. This paper describes the design and implementation of a new type of peer-to- peer virtual private network that can allow users to overcome some of these limitations. N2N users can create and manage their own secure and geographically distributed overlay network without the need for central administration, typical of most virtual private network systems. Keywords: Virtual private network, peer-to-peer, network overlay. 1. Motivation and Scope of Work Irony pervades many pages of history, and computing history is no exception. Once personal computing had won the market battle against mainframe-based computing, the commercial evolution of the Internet in the nineties stepped the computing world back to a substantially rigid client-server scheme. While it is true that the today’s Internet serves as a good transport system for supplying a plethora of data interchange services, virtually all of them are delivered by a client-server model, whether they are centralised or distributed, pay-per-use or virtually free [1]. -

Technical report, IDE1202, February 2012 Enhancing Network Security in Linux Environment Master Thesis in Computer Network Engineering By Ali Mohammed, Sachin Sama and Majeed Mohammed School of Information Science, Computer and Electrical Engineering Halmstad University i Enhancing Network Security in Linux Environment Master Thesis in Computer Network Engineering School of Information Science, Computer and Electrical Engineering Halmstad University Box 823, S-301 18 Halmstad, Sweden February 2012 ii Preface First of all, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our Supervisor Philip Heimer and Professor Tony Larsson for their supervision and assistance in the entire thesis work. We are also thankful to IDE department, Halmstad University for providing this opportunity to complete this thesis. Ali Mohammed Sachin Sama Majeed Mohammed iii iv Abstract Designing a secured network is the most important task in any enterprise or organization development. Securing a network mainly involves applying policies and procedures to protect different network devices from unauthorized access. Servers such as web servers, file servers, mail servers, etc., are the important devices in a network. Therefore, securing these servers is the first and foremost step followed in every security implementation mechanism. To implement this, it is very important to analyse and study the security mechanisms provided by the operating system. This makes it easier for security implementation in a network. This thesis work demonstrates the tasks needed to enhance the network security in Linux environment. The various security modules existing in Linux makes it different from other operating systems. The security measures which are mainly needed to enhance the system security are documented as a baseline for practical implementation. -

Improving Networking
IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON FINALYEARPROJECT JUNE 14, 2010 Improving Networking by moving the network stack to userspace Author: Matthew WHITWORTH Supervisor: Dr. Naranker DULAY 2 Abstract In our modern, networked world the software, protocols and algorithms involved in communication are among some of the most critical parts of an operating system. The core communication software in most modern systems is the network stack, but its basic monolithic design and functioning has remained unchanged for decades. Here we present an adaptable user-space network stack, as an addition to my operating system Whitix. The ideas and concepts presented in this report, however, are applicable to any mainstream operating system. We show how re-imagining the whole architecture of networking in a modern operating system offers numerous benefits for stack-application interactivity, protocol extensibility, and improvements in network throughput and latency. 3 4 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Naranker Dulay for supervising me during the course of this project. His time spent offering constructive feedback about the progress of the project is very much appreciated. I would also like to thank my family and friends for their support, and also anybody who has contributed to Whitix in the past or offered encouragement with the project. 5 6 Contents 1 Introduction 11 1.1 Motivation.................................... 11 1.1.1 Adaptability and interactivity.................... 11 1.1.2 Multiprocessor systems and locking................ 12 1.1.3 Cache performance.......................... 14 1.2 Whitix....................................... 14 1.3 Outline...................................... 15 2 Hardware and the LDL 17 2.1 Architectural overview............................. 17 2.2 Network drivers................................. 18 2.2.1 Driver and device setup....................... -

Al-Taee Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics University of Liverpool, UK e-mail: {amzari.ghazali, wax, ali.ataby, altaeem}@liv.ac.uk Abstract—Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) was such as Toredo, 6to4 and manual configuration [4]. developed to resolve the IPv4 address exhaustion Despite the benefits of using IPv6, there are still problem and support new features. However, IPv6 still challenges and obstacles in implementing and comprises some defectiveness of IPv4 protocol such as practically using IPv6 VoIP [5]. The issues of the multimedia security. This paper presents IPv6-based transition from the current IPv4 network to IPv6 as tunneling mechanisms for securing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) network traffic using OpenSwan IPSec well as VoIP performance for both IP versions need (site-to-site). IPSec with Triple Data Encryption to be assessed and compared. Algorithm (3DES) is used to create a Virtual Private Evaluation of VoIP performance with IPSec in Network (VPN) on top of existing physical networks. IPv4, IPv6 and 6to4 networks using Teredo for NAT Secure communication mechanisms can therefore be provided for data and control information transmitted traversal in a test LAN was previously reported in between networks. Secure VoIP-oriented mechanisms [6]. The testbed used softphones to setup calls, and on VPN IPv6 have been designed, implemented and background traffic was generated to create congestion tested successfully using open source approaches. The on the links and routers. The results demonstrated the performance of the IPv6 VoIP network is assessed feasibility of using a single Linux box to handle experimentally in terms of several performance metrics IPSec, 6to4 and NAT processing, and it was found including jitter, throughput and packet loss rate. -
