What is Tunneling (VPN)?

Virtual Private Networks creates a tunnel for using a public network (such as Internet) to transfer information between client's PC and office's network. To initiate tunnel in client PC it must have VPN software to connect the ISP router (RAS). After verification of validity of user, software establishes the connection between ISP and use client machine. 

What is Network Security Threats?

• Computer Security means to protect information. It deals with prevention and detection of unauthorized actions by users of a computer.

In simple words security is defined as "Protecting information system from unintended access"

What is Network Security? Explain Basic Requirements of Network Security.

Network security is a broad topic with multilayered approach. It can be addressed at the data link layer, network layer and application layer. The issues concerned are: packet intrusion and encryption, IP packets and routing tables with their update version, and host-level bugs occurred at data link layer, network layer and application, respectively.

Explain Types of Firewall Architectures

Internet provides a two-way flow of traffic that may be undesirable in many organizations where some information may concern exclusively within the organization or for Intranet. Intranet is aTCP/IP network that is modeled after the Internet that only works within the organization. In order to delineate information meant only for the benefit of the organization or its Intranet and the other open to all or meant for Internet, some sorts of security measures need to be employed to control two-way flow of traffic. The measure known, as firewall is simply used for this purpose.

What is Firewall?

A firewall is a device installed between the internet network of an organization and the rest of Internet. When a computer is connected to Internet, it can create many problems for corporate companies. Most companies put a large amount of confidential information online. Such an information should not be disclosed to the unauthorized persons. Second problem is that the virus, worms and other digital pests can breach the security and can destroy the valuable data.

Types of Servers

File servers. -With a file server, the Computer Network client passes requests for computer network files or file records over a computer network to the file server. This form of computer network data service requires large bandwidth and can slow a computer network with many users down considerably. Traditional LAN (Local area Network) computing allows users to share resources, such as data files and peripheral devices, by moving them from standalone PCUs onto a Networked File Server (NFS).

What is packet

A packet is the unit of data that is routed between an origin of  computer  network and a destination of computer network on the Internet or any other packet-switched computer network. When any file (e-mail message, HTML file, Graphics Interchange Format file, Uniform Resource Locator request, and so forth) is sent from one place of computer network to another place of computer network on the Internet, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) layer of TCP/IP of computer network.
