Title : Analysis of the Security of BGP/MPLS IP VPNs
Author(s) : M. Behringer
Filename : draft-behringer-mpls-security-05.txt
Pages : 27
Date : 2003-12-2
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.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
