The combination of the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) all-sky maps of the energetic neutral atom fluxes with the Voyager in situ measurements gives us a unique opportunity to learn more about the physics governing the solar wind (SW) interaction with the local interstellar medium (LISM). Moreover, since the position of the ribbon of an enhanced ENA flux in the sky strongly depends on the LISM properties, we are able to constrain those by comparing numerical simulations with the IBEX observations. In this paper, we discuss the current status of the Huntsville model of the SW-LISM interaction, compare numerical results with the IBEX and Voyager observations, and discuss the importance of taking into account time-dependent phenomena, particularly the solar cycle effects.
