The Visitor Network Way-back Machine
Ed Vielmetti’s daily del.icio.us post alerted me to an ancient (in networking terms) article on visitor networks and various strategies for their deployment. It was published in Cisco’s Internet Protocol Journal back in 2002 and it is surprising how much the technology for deploying visitor networks has not changed. The core goal of being client-less remains and the techniques around captive portal are still very much in use today. This is great background information with plenty of application in today’s authenticated networks.
