How do you secure your IP network without destroying it? The IPsec protocols are the only viable standard for secure, network-layer transmission on IP, yet they can wreak havoc on critical applications and other enhanced network services. Interoperability problems between vendors, as well as limitations in the basic technology, can cause problems that range from annoying to disastrous. This book tells you how IPsec works (or doesn't work) with other technologies, describes how to select products that will meet your needs, and discusses legal issues critical to IPsec deployment.
This hands-on guide will help you to:
* Analyze how and why IPsec may break existing networks
* Combine IPsec with other enhanced IP services and applications
* Determine the causes of IPsec performance problems and protocol conflicts
* Understand how existing laws and regulatory trends may impact your use of IPsec products
* Understand the basic technological components of IPsec
* Evaluate IPsec vendors and products
