VPN Site-to-Site networking
VPN without normal Internet traffic
This Site-to-Site networking scenario lets an enterprises to use:
- HiPath 2000 as VPN Site-to-Site gateway both for Voice and Data traffic.
- HiPath 2000 as a cost-effective gateway to route VoIP traffic by performing CorNet-IP trunking between sites over VPN trunk.
- HiPath 2000 as gateway to access enterprise resources and applications available on the company’s VPN networked sites.
Overview

Important informations
- Basic bandwidth reservation for Voice can be implemented on HiPath 2000 setting:
- Outgoing Bandwidth Control.
- B-Channels limitation.
- No external Firewall is required at site (HiPath 2000 features firewalling service).
- If, at some point, normal Internet traffic (like Web navigation, Mail server access, etc.) is required by the Customer, then Hipath 2000 VPN Site-to-Site networking implementation must be designed according to VPN with normal Internet traffic scenario. In that case:
- Customer need to ensure itself with additional ISP connection to Internet.
- Customer need to ensure additional devices/services like:
- Router, necessary to route LAN hosts normal data traffic to Internet.
- Firewall, necessary to protect LAN hosts and implement DMZ at site.
- Proxy, necessary to implement Internet traffic policies.
VPN with normal Internet traffic
Overview

Important informations
- Normal Internet traffic completely separated from Voice traffic by means of second Internet connection to ISP:
- Voice quality over VPN is preserved from normal Internet traffic side effects (No Voice/Date traffic congestion, no burstly data traffic or high downstream can jam Voice connections).
- HiPath 2000 can manage VPN Bandwidth entirely (No Bandwith share with normal Internet traffic).
- HiPath 2000 lightweight processing power requirements handling and routing only Voice traffic over VPN Trunk.
- Routing/Security policies demanded at additional Proxy/Firewall devices for normal unencrypted Internet traffic handling.
VPN with normal Internet traffic and QoS support
Overview
VPN Site-to-Site networking with normal Internet traffic and QoS support Overview here
Important informations
- The ISP must support QoS to ensure sufficient voice packet quality (According to specific SLA)
- HiPath 2000 as VPN Site-to-Site gateway to a single ISP access, used for both:
- Voice and Data traffic.
- Normal Internet traffic.
- HiPath 2000 as a cost-effective gateway to route:
- External additional Proxy/Firewall:
- must be capable to handle traffic carried by [VPN] transparently.
- offer high level of Security for normal unencrypted Internet traffic
- HiPath 2000 as gateway to access enterprise resources and applications available on the company’s VPN networked sites.
- The ISP access can be overloaded (Available bandwidth could be used by massive or bursty downloads) affecting Voice quality first (Bursty data traffic, high downstream can jam Voice connections).
- Operation of public servers on (DMZ) is only recommended QoS can be provided by ISP and access Router is able to support bandwidth control for both Voice and Data traffic.
- Not all ISPs are able nor have a suitable infrastructure ready to offer adequate QoS policies (Or QoS at all) on their Internet access.
