The MPLS WG Archive

["Michael H. Behringer" <mbehring@cisco.com>]

This new version now includes a security analysis for Inter-AS and CsC. So 
it should cover the whole 2547bis spectrum. I would like to invite comments 
on what is missing or should be changed.

Thanks,
Michael

         Title           : Analysis of the Security of BGP/MPLS IP VPNs
         Author(s)       : M. Behringer

This document analyses the security of the BGP/MPLS IP VPN architecture
as described in [RFC2547bis], especially in comparison with other VPN
technologies such as ATM and Frame Relay. The target audience is
service providers and VPN users. The document consists of two main
parts: First the requirements for security in VPN services are defined,
second BGP/MPLS IP VPNs are examined with respect to these
requirements.

The analysis shows that BGP/MPLS IP VPN networks can be equally secured
as traditional layer-2 VPN networks such as ATM and Frame Relay.
