Presently, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is the global data transmission technology used for delivery of voice and multimedia applications in Virtual Private Network (VPN). The main purpose of security is to protect the network assets. However, insecurity issues on the cloud of MPLS-VPN system remain the major challenges for the network designers. This paper discusses the security vulnerability on an MPLS-VPN with different enhancement techniques that have been implemented in the network in order to enhance it. Security vulnerabilities such as policy flaws, malicious software, protocol weaknesses and software/hardware vulnerabilities in MPLS-VPN need to be mitigated.
