I know MPLS VPN are implemented by Service Providers for the purpose of TE, 
But what if I want to provide both TE and security in MPLS VPNs…
MPLS VPNS certainly is no less secure than a Frame Relay PVC or an ATM PVC 
they only thing which  really is lacking is that MPLS VPN seeks to ensure 
data confidentiality by defining a single path between physical sites on a 
service provider network. This prevents attackers from accessing transmitted 
data unless they place sniffers on the service provider network. MPLS itself 
also does not provide encryption.
Can anyone suggest me a way to implement encryption also on PE…
What will be the counter measures of implementing encryption at PE.
Cant we make MPLS VPN an IPSec alternative by providing both secure LSP and 
encryption..
