You wish to extend your intranet to certain business partners. What type of network are you
building?
Extranet From time to time, an application that has been built for the
company's intranet and used by internal employees will need to be extended
to select business partners or customers. If you extend your intranet out
to select business partners or customers, you have created an extranet. An
extranet cannot be used by anyone else external to the company except for
those selected individuals. Figure 1-3 displays the basic configurations of
Internet, intranet, and extranet.
