Containment Fields: An Intranet Application of Internet Firewalls Technology

Many organizations require different security models for different parts of
their networks; for instance, they may have classrooms and demonstration
facilities which customers are allowed access to, as well as internal
development networks where outsiders are strictly prohibited.  Containment
fields are a way of using standard Internet firewall technologies (packet
filters and IP tunnels) to establish and link pieces of a network that have
special security requirements without compromising the security of the
larger network they are a part of.  The containment field concept was
developed as part of the SGI/Cray merger, in order to reconcile the
significantly different security models of those two organizations as they
merged their existing wide area networks.  This talk will describe
containment fields in the context of the SGI/Cray merger, including why and
how we developed them, what we expect to do with them, and how we plan to
build them.
