    (University of Management and Technology Lahore, 2017) Muhammad Usama Tahir; Saud Akram
    MPLS is short for Multiprotocol label switching. It is the latest technology in WAN network. Many of the Telecommunication Industry Sector is shifting their backbone networks on MPLS because of it has advance enhance features like QoS and fast switching speed. Although MPLS provides some security at low level to enhance its security, Virtual Private Networks are created to secure the data completely to its destination. VPN itself is secure. A virtual private network (VPN) is the essential security feature that allows remote monitoring systems to take advantage of the low communications cost of the internet. This paper introduces the VPN concept and summarizes the networking and security principles. The mechanics of security, for example, types of encryption and protocols for exchange of keys between partners, are explained. Important issues for partners in different countries include the interoperability and mutual accreditations of systems.
