Analysis of the Security of BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks
RFC 4381, “Analysis of the Security of BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks”, is an Informational document published in February 2006 by M. Behringer. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
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.
