What is Tunneling ?

What is Tunneling ?

Tunneling is the most significant component of VPN technology.  Tunneling is the technique of encapsulating an entire data packet in the packet of another protocol format. When a tunneled packet is routed to the destination node, it travels across the internet work through a logical path. This logical path is referred to as a tunnel.  Tunneling is analogous to sending a letter. After you write a letter, you place it in an envelope. This envelope displays the address of the recipient. When you post this letter, it is delivered to the recipient according to the address on the envelope. The recipient then needs to open the envelope to read the letter.
