A web-based monitor and management system architecture for enterprise Virtual Private Network

Abstract

This research is based on the new network management technologies such as Policy-based Network Management, Mobile Agent, etc., to design a VPN monitor and management system architecture that is suitable for the enterprise use and contains high level management with low Network Traffic load. This system architecture integrates the monitor and management for both VPN devices and general network devices, such the feature makes enterprise can integrate the monitor and manage the VPN and Intranet at the same time and solve the problems caused by using the VPN. The results of this research provide a VPN system architecture for monitoring and managing the enterprises and establish a prototype for the enterprise VPN` monitor and management system.
