FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Paktronix Systems Announces Linux VPN with Hardware
Encryption
OMAHA, NE – March 15, 1999 Paktronix Systems announced today the
availability of a Linux based IPSec VPN solution. The Paktronix
Systems IPSec VPN connects multiple networks together across the
Internet at speeds up to DS-3 (45Mbps).
Features:
Hardware IPSec Engine All IPSec functions,
including 3DES encryption, are done in hardware. The CPU of the
firewall system is completely free to deal with firewall and
advanced security functions. The IPSec hardware is not directly
connected to any physical network thus providing maximal protection
and management of the VPN data streams.
Exportable 3DES Hardware The hardware IPSec
solution we use is exportable. Please contact us if you are
interested in obtaining Linux VPN IPSec solutions for export at
this address: international@paktronix.com
Advanced Routing and Filtering Structures The
Linux 2.2 kernel provides full RFC compliance for all network
routing functions. We can route by source address, tag packets for
special routing treatment, utilize multiple default routes, perform
NAT based on packet header criteria, and provide stable
auto-loadbalance and failover routing capabilities. Controlling the
routing structure allows decisions on VPN paths to be made without
involving the IPSec card. VPN structures can be enabled for only
designated addresses and networks without any overhead within the
IPSec protocols.
Transparent Integration Paktronix Systems
Firewalls with IPSec VPN still retain full firewall functionality.
The VPN subsystem integrates so transparently that the VPN can be
enabled, disabled, or modified during runtime operation without any
effect on the firewall operation. This is due to the modular design
of the Paktronix Systems Firewall. More information can be found at

Pricing and Availability
The Paktronix Systems VPN is available immediately and is priced at
$5,500 to $15,000 depending on your configuration requirements.
