Hello,

Flooding bougus routes from the CE would imply that the attacker would
simply screw up "his own VPN".


almost all VPN PE routers have a maxlimit tweaking knob too.

so its not a problem.

How can we address flooding  attacks in MPLS ??
An attacker cannot be prevented from finding a way to flood the router with
bogus routing messages.Flooding the PE router from a CE can not break
security as far as the MPLS mechanisms are concerned .
