The motivation behind this project for me is not only to enhance my knowledge of a complex but very rewarding and currently hot technology of Virtual Private Networking for an existing company called Sun InfoSys Ltd., but to actually implement this project in that company. This can bear fruit for me in the form of possible future job prospect in this company. I had to be able to liaise with the staff and establish a nice rapport with them.

Furthermore In this project, I will also be developing an online website covering this report that will be available with this documentation and will publish the web address within the conclusion of this report.

Previously I actually have worked for several years as a Network Engineer in Pakistan for several companies and have actually designed, deployed, managed and trouble-shooted complex networks.

I have also worked as a web developer and developed several websites for clients in Pakistan . Clearly I have great interest in the field of Networking and this is the sole reason for me taking up this degree to further my knowledge and career within this field.
