Abstract:
New developments in the field of remote connections are enlarging day by day for easy and fast recovery from disaster plus the effective cost. Our Research paper provides details on point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP). PPTP is used in remote connections and VPN connections. Organizations can use internet securely with PPTP and this type of connection is VPN. PPTP is very simple for implementation from end users perspective. PPTP needs basic encryption and so it is faster. PPTP supports multiprotocol communication. PPTP is very simple for implementation from end users perspective. It satisfies users from cost perspective along with technical satisfaction.
How does it comfort remote users to achieve their goal? Focuses on history of PPTP and how Microsoft implemented the protocol in Windows NT 4.0 Structure and message format of PPTP is detailed like PPTP as an extension of PPP is not similar to it. PPTP is the layer2 of OSI model. PPTP secures PPP through encryption and enclosing. PPTP server interfaces on internet and intranet. How PPTP is used as a protection device for data and is safe to transmit sensitive data in an encrypted format (Yates, 1997). Message format and types of messages. All the services which PPTP provides and its working style. Types of deployment in PPTP are discussed. PPTP supports client server model. Technical specification of PPTP is detailed in RFC 2637.
