BGP/MPLS VPN

The border gateway protocol/multiprotocol label switching (BGP/MPLS) VPN standards, defined by IETF, are to provide Layer 3 VPN solutions using BGP to carry route information over a MPLS core. This Layer 3 MPLS-VPN solution achieves all of the security of the Layer 2 approach, while adding enhanced scalability inherent in the use of Layer 3 routing technology.
