Analysis of the Security of BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Informational
Pages: 22
Abstract: This document analyses the security of the BGP/MPLS IP virtual private network (VPN) architecture that is described in RFC 4364, for the benefit of service providers and VPN users. The analysis shows that BGP/MPLS IP VPN networks can be as secure as traditional layer-2 VPN services using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or Frame Relay. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
