Traditionally,
enterprises prefer to tunnel all the wireless traffic from branch offices back
to the central controller at the headquarters, in order to maintain unified
security and access policies. However, this also increases bandwidth
consumption and latency, decreasing overall network performance.
With
4ipnet’s solution, you now have a compromise. Different tunnel types can be
configured independently for each SSID, providing maximum deployment flexibility.
For instance, the employee SSID can continue to tunnel all the traffic back to
the controller, while the guest SSID can be configured with split tunnel –
tunneling only authentication, management, and accounting traffic back to the
controller, and allowing user data traffic to exit locally to the Internet. With
split tunnel, users get the best network experience, while the company can also
reduce unnecessary bandwidth consumption from users that do not need such tight
security policies.
