How would u model a vpn?

[bramasdf]

Would a vpn be classified as a communcation network or something else?

Hi,

This question should better be posted on the ArchiMate Community...

That being said, If you want to keep things as simple as possible (prefered approach IMHO), yes a Communication Network is fine. If you are doing some more advanced modeling, then a Path realized by some Communication Networks (such as Internet), and aggregating elements such as a System Software 'VNP Client', and a Node 'VPN Concentrator') would be best.

There is a decent example on the bizzdesign documentation site



This shows the realisation at the tech layer of how the VPN components.

You could represent VPN as a path, or as a network, depending on what you are intending to describe in the view
