Title : MPLS VPN Authentication
Author(s) : M. Behringer, J. Guichard
Filename : draft-behringer-mpls-vpn-auth-00.txt
Pages : 6

Authentication in current MPLS/VPN networks [RFC2547] is based on
routing authentication between CE-PE, PE-PE and again PE-CE, which
authenticates the routing peer and verifies the integrity of routing
updates from that peer. This does not provide CE-CE authentication.
Here we propose a CE-CE authentication scheme that combines the three
separate steps above and protects against misconfiguration of the PE
routers by the Service Provider on the MPLS network. The proposed
changes affect only the PE routers.

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.
