Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02075548A1] A network architecture (30) in accordance with the present invention includes a communication network that supports one or more network-based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) (44, 46). The communication network includes a plurality of boundary routers (40, 42) that are connected by access links (35) to CPE edge routers (34) belonging to the one or more VPNs (44, 46). To prevent traffic from outside a customer's VPN (e.g., traffic from other VPNs or the Internet at large) from degrading the QoS (Quality of service) provided to traffic from within the customer's VPN, the present invention gives precedence to intra-VPN traffic over extra-VPN traffic on each customer's access link through access link prioritization or access link capacity allocation, such that extra-VPN traffic cannot interfere with inter-VPN traffic. Granting precedence to intra-VPN traffic over extra-VPN traffic in this manner entails special configuration of network elements and protocols, including partitioning between intra-VPN and extra-VPN traffic on the physical access link using layer 2 multiplexing and the configuration of routing protocols to achieve logical traffic separation. By configuring the access networks, the VPN boundary routers (40, 42) and CPE edge routers (34) and the routing protocols of the edge and boundary routers in this manner, the high-level service of DoS (Denial of Service) attack prevention is achieved.
