摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing secure multipoint Internet Protocol Virtual Private Networks (IPVPNs) is presented. A packet lookup is performed in order to determine a next hop. A VPN label is pushed on the packet, as is an IP tunnel header. Group encryption through the use of DGVPN is further utilized. In such a manner secure connectivity and network partitioning are provided in a single solution.
摘要:
A system provides a request for a policy from a policy server, and receives the policy from the policy server. The policy indicates processing to be applied to a traffic partition passing through the device. The system configures the policy within a routing structure associated with the traffic partition for the policy in the device, and routes a stream of traffic for the routing structure in accordance with the policy for that routing structure.

In a host within a group, a method for ensuring secure communications is provided. The method involves (a) determining if a group security policy is in place for secure communication between hosts within the group, (b) if the group security policy is in place, advertising routing information to another host within the group, and (c) if the group security policy is not in place, refraining from advertising routing information to the other host. Corresponding apparatus and computer program product embodiments are also provided.
摘要:
A routing mechanism provides network segmentation preservation by route distribution with segment identification, policy distribution for a given VPN segment, and encapsulation/decapsulation for each segment using an Ethernet VLAN_ID, indicative of the VPN segment (subnetwork). Encapsulated segmentation information in a message packet identifies which routing and forwarding table is employed for the next hop. A common routing instance receives the message packets from the common interface, and indexes a corresponding VRF table from the VLAN ID, or segment identifier, indicative of the subnetwork (e.g. segment). In this manner, the routing instance receives the incoming message packet, decapsulates the VLAN ID in the incoming message packet, and indexes the corresponding VRF and policy ID from the VLAN ID, therefore employing a common routing instance over a common subinterface for a plurality of segments (subnetworks) coupled to a particular forwarding device (e.g. VPN router).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing routing protocol support for distributing encryption information is presented. Subnet prefixes reachable on a first customer site in an encrypted manner are identified, as are security groups the subnet prefixes belong to. An advertisement is received at a first Customer Edge (CE) device in the first customer site, the advertisement originating from a Customer (C) device in the first customer site. The advertisement indicates links, subnets to be encrypted, and security group identifiers. The prefixes and the security group identifiers are then propagated across a service provider network to a second CE device located in a second customer site. In such a manner, encryption and authentication is expanded further into a customer site, as customer devices are able to indicate to a service provider network infrastructure and other customer devices in other customer sites which local destinations require encryption/authentication.
摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product for routing data within a packet-switched network using a PW wherein the PW is terminated directly on the layer-3 routing device such that certain services and applications can be utilized is presented. The method, apparatus and computer program product receives an encapsulated layer-2 Protocol Data Unit (PDU) from a pseudowire emulating a service. The encapsulation is removed from the encapsulated layer-2 PDU and a layer-2 circuit associated with the pseudowire is terminated. The circuit is treated as an interface and the PDU is forwarded based on upper layer protocol information within the PDU.

A method comprises, in a network comprising VPN gateway devices configured only for plaintext data communication, configuring a policy server with a security policy including DO NOT ENCRYPT statements temporarily overriding PERMIT statements defining which packets should be encrypted; selecting one sub-group of the VPN gateway devices in which tunnel-less encryption is not configured; configuring of the VPN gateway devices in the sub-group for tunnel-less encryption by: configuring each device in a passive mode of operation in which the device is configured to receive either encrypted packets or plaintext packets matching encryption policy; configuring local DO NOT ENCRYPT statements matching traffic that is currently being converted to ciphertext; removing, from the access control list of the policy server, DO NOT ENCRYPT statements referring to protected LAN CIDR blocks behind the VPN gateway devices in the selected sub-group; configuring the sub-group to send encrypted packets by removing, from each of the VPN gateway devices in the selected sub-group, the local DO NOT ENCRYPT statements for the CIDR blocks currently being converted and protected by the selected sub-group; repeating the configuring each of the VPN gateway devices in the selected sub-group for tunnel-less encryption, and the configuring the sub-group to send encrypted packets, for each other one of the sub-groups; and removing the passive mode on each of the VPN gateway devices.
