Abstract
We have implemented a system for virtual private
networking, with special attention to the needs of telecommuters. In
particular, we used off-the-shelf hardware and open-source software to
create a platform to provide IP security and other services for in-home networks. Our experience has taught us a number of things
about the scalability of the FreeS/WAN IPsec system, about the
widespread mis-handling of path-MTU discovery on the internet, and
about the implications of tunnels on the basic architecture of the
network. Additional Keywords: VPN, Linux, Residential Gateway,
MSS, fragmentation.
