To enhance performance, subnets limit the number of nodes that compete for available bandwidth. , to have clients accessing the application from remote locations that are bridged across an IP interconnect. "Department of Defense individuals, involved with the successful deployment of our IPTube-RS530 to tunnel Encrypted Data through an IP connection, requested that we create a product that would bridge an Ethernet segment across an IP intranet." said President Mark Doyle For the BBC correspondent, see . Mark Doyle is a UK-based nightclub DJ, A&R man and record label owner. In 1999 he founded the record and lifestyle label Hed Kandi for Jazz FM . "The IPTube-E2, as with the majority of Engage's products, is the result of earning the privilege to further our customer's objectives." The IPTube-E2 is used to interconnect Ethernet LANs through an IP network. Ethernet frames that are destined des·tine tr.v. des·tined, des·tin·ing, des·tines 1.

The IP packets, with the encapsulated Ethernet frames, are sent to the IP address of the destination network's IPTube-E2 where the IP envelope is removed and the original Ethernet Frames are delivered to the destination network's Ethernet device. Enterprises, Education, Government Agencies and Organizations use the IPTube-E2's tunnel to transport legacy LAN An older local area network.

Similar to the IP layer in TCP/IP, it contains a network address and allows messages to be routed to a different network or subnet. , AppleTalk and Decnet, over very cost effective, ubiquitous IP based services. Legacy applications that utilize non routable protocols are able to access services across an IP point to point connection. The IPTube-E2 provides a high level of security by only exchanging packets with the remote network. Additionally Ethernet Frames within the IP envelope must be addressed to specific Ethernet MAC addresses. Bridges secure applications that limit communication to IP addresses within the same subnet across an enterprise Intranet.
