Abstract
This document describes a way to apply opportunistic encryption between adjacent nodes on an MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) or between end points of an LSP. It explains how keys may be exchanged to enable the encryption, and indicates how key identifiers are exchanged in encrypted MPLS packets. Finally, this document describes the applicability of opportunistic encryption in MPLS networks with an indication of the level of improved security as well as the continued vulnerabilities. This document does not describe security for MPLS control plane protocols.
