8.4.4 PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a protocol (set of communication rules) that allows corporations to
extend their own corporate network through private "tunnels" over the public Internet. Effectively, a corporation uses a
wide-area network as a single large local area network. A company no longer needs to lease its own lines for wide-area
communication but can securely use the public networks. This kind of interconnection is known as a virtual private
network (VPN).
