This memo presents an approach for building core Virtual Private
Network (VPN) services in a service provider's MPLS backbone. This
approach uses Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) running in the
backbone to provide premium services in addition to best effort
services. The central vision is for the service provider to provide a
virtual router service to their customers. The keystones of this
architecture are ease of configuration, user security, network
security, dynamic neighbor discovery, scaling and the use of existing
routing protocols as they exist today without any modifications.
