Abstract:
Typical Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a private data network over the public
network i.e. Internet and inherits all the underlying network problems like slow link
failure recovery, inability to detect path or performance failures and enforcement of blunt
policy expression.
Resilient Overlay Network (RON) seeks to quickly detect and respond to network
failures by aggressively probing the paths connecting its nodes. Routing based on
application specific metrics ensures tighter integration with applications and an
expressive policy routing. We have implemented a software application that runs as a
service on each RON node to provide the functionalities of tunneling amongst
participating RON nodes.
