TollSaver Database

A feature of Enterasys Networks products that provides remote users with a

list of ISPs, phone numbers of available POPs, and connection rates. The master TollSaver database is maintained on the Aurorean Policy Server and downloaded to the Aurorean Client over the management channel

portion of the tunnel connection.

Tunneling

Technology that lets a network transport protocol carry information for other protocols within its own packets. For example, by encapsulating NetBEUI packets, IP can route them across the Internet, which is not normally possible.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

An extension of a company’s private network that uses the resources of the public Internet. While most private networks use dedicated lines and equipment that are company property, a virtual private network “borrows” resources from the Internet on an as-needed basis.
