In computer networking, VEN or Virtual Extended Network is a secure networking protocol developed by iQuila.

The VEN protocol is an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) Enabled Layer 2 protocol that exchanges full Ethernet Frames between two devices running the protocol. The VEN protocol encapsulates, encrypts and transmits virtual Ethernet Frames on a physical IP network over the Internet via Layer 3 using multiple streams of TCP/IP connections. By utilizing AI, VEN controls and optimizes TCP/IP connections. Communication is optimized making it more efficient than traditional VPN protocols. iQuila VEN can achieve high speeds of up to 1Gbps per connection and low latency, due to an overhead of 0.05%.

Protocol
iQuila VEN is a protocol that encapsulates all Ethernet frames into TCP/IP. It is possible to pass any Ethernet Frame based protocol by using VEN.

Multicast Packets
iQuila VEN supports Ethernet Frame conversion capabilities in the same way as a physical Layer 2 switch and supports Multicast IP packets over a VEN connection.

Full Ethernet Virtualization Layer 2
In order to establish a Layer 2 network over Layer 3, iQuila VEN virtualizes Ethernet and uses full virtualization of Ethernet segments, Ethernet switches and Ethernet adapters, all controlled by its embedded AI engine, enabling fast, secure, and reliable communications.

Layer 2 Storm Control
VEN’s embedded AI controls the flow of data over the networks. Its storm control algorithms protect a network from broadcast storms.

Extending Ethernet Segments
The VEN protocol was designed to establish an Ethernet segment between two or more remote locations anywhere in the world. Using tunnelling technology, VEN encapsulates Ethernet over HTTPS to transmit frames over the Internet.

VLANs
iQuila VEN protocol supports IEEE 802.1Q. The standard defines a system of VLAN tagging for Ethernet frames and the accompanying procedures to be used by Network Bridges and Network Switches in handling such frames.

VLAN Limitation
Under IEEE 802.1Q, the maximum number of VLANs on a given Ethernet network is 4,094 (4,096 values provided by the 12-bit VID field minus reserved values at each end of the range, 0 and 4,095). VEN can overcome this limitation by utilizing multiple Virtual Switches, each switch carrying a maximum of 4,095 VLANs

VEN Advanced Communications
VEN is designed to communicate over any TCP port, but by default uses TCP port 443. VEN is design to receive up to 32 connection streams per client to ensure better stability and performance. VEN is designed to be fully clustered to cope with many thousands of simultaneous connections.

Software clients carrying the VEN protocol can connect over many different types of carriers including 3G, 4G, 5G, Satellite and Radio Wave. Due to the multiple streams of data, the VEN Protocol can cope with fast changing bandwidths and differing download or upload speeds. Its ability to connect and authorise at fast speeds enables very quickly reconnection on poor quality connections which enables a client device to be moving at speed with fast changing bandwidths and still keep a stable Layer 2 connection. The in-built Quality of Service (QoS) in the VEN protocol enables very stable voice/video communications.

VEN Clustering
The VEN Protocol is designed to be clustered. The cluster functionality within the protocol supports complex networks with thousands of users. The protocol was designed to enable up to 64 VEN-enabled servers in a single cluster that can be spread across multiple data centres, supporting up to 1024 clusters in a super cluster.
