Answer: A
VPN technology allows external partners to securely
participate in the extranet using public networks as a
transport or shared private network. Because of low cost,
using public networks (Internet) as a transport is the
principal method. VPNs rely on tunneling/encapsulation
techniques, which allow the Internet protocol (IP) to carry
a variety of different protocols (e.g., SNA, IPX, NETBEUI.)
Client-server does not address extending the network to
business partners (I.e., client-servers refers to a group of
computers within an organization connected by a
communications network where the client is the request
machine and the server is the supplying machine.) A network
service provider may provide services to a shared private
network by providing Internet services, but it does not
extended an organization?s intranet.
