I think even that is a misnomer, MPLS labels can be alikened to VLANs, they offer no security at all. They are about logical seperate of traffic flows. Anyone can push-pop-swap MPLS labels just they can VLAN tags and hop between MPLS L2/L3 VPNs. – jwbensley Feb 5 '16 at 14:48
Understanding MPLS IP VPNs, Security Attacks and VPN MPLS VPN Basics. MPLS VPNs combine the power of MPLS and the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing protocol. MPLS is used to forward packets over the provider’s network backbone and BGP is used for distributing routes over the backbone. A MPLS VPN is compromised of the following equipment: Customer Edge (CE) routers. These are placed at the RFC 4364 - BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) RFC 4364 BGP/MPLS IP VPNs February 2006 In this document, we restrict our discussion to the case in which the customer is explicitly purchasing VPN service from an SP, or from a set of SPs that have agreed to cooperate to provide the VPN service. That is, the customer is not merely purchasing internet access from an SP, and the VPN traffic does not pass through a random collection of Difference between VPN and MPLS | Difference Between VPN vs. MPLS. Virtual Private Network (also known as VPN) is a computer network. This network is layered on top of a computer network that resides underneath it. The privacy connotes that the data that travels over the VPN is not visible to, or encapsulated from, the traffic of the underlying network. This is possible because of strong encryption –most VPNs are deployed to be high security BGP/MPLS IP VPNs - NANOG Archive
BGP-MPLS VPNs Goal: solve the scaling issues. Support thousands of VPNs, support VPNs with hundreds of sites per VPN, support overlapping address space. Peer model – …
RFC 2547 - BGP/MPLS VPNs In MPLS/BGP VPNs, existing L3 QoS capabilities can be applied to labeled packets through the use of the "experimental" bits in the shim header [10], or, where ATM is used as the backbone, through the use of ATM QoS capabilities. The traffic engineering work discussed in [1] is also directly applicable to MPLS/BGP VPNs. routing - MPLS vs Encrypted VPNs - traffic security I think even that is a misnomer, MPLS labels can be alikened to VLANs, they offer no security at all.
