This report focuses on leading service providers that offer comprehensive multiprotocol label switching (MPLS)/Internet Protocol (IP) virtual private network (VPN) services in the United States. Service providers have been analyzed primarily on their MPLS/IP VPN portfolios, including their presence in retail and wholesale segments. This study analyzes Layer 3 VPN services provisioned for site-to-site connectivity, for which the service provider manages the routing tables. Traditional Layer 2 VPNs, Ethernet-based Layer 2 VPN services, and Internet VPNs provisioned on public IP networks using tunnelling protocols have been excluded from the analysis.
