The only reference I know of for AVPN are: - the shortened version of AlmostVPN, which is a SSH Tunnel Manager for OS X. The site for it is http://www.leapingbytes.com/almostvpn. - "AVPN.ORG" which is a VPN hosting service. - AT&T's AVPN service - "AT&T's newest flagship offering allows customers to implement an MPLS-based network comprised of managed and unmanaged locations along with a plethora of added features such as Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and multicast." (http://www.business.att.com/wholesale/Family/w_ip/w_mpls_based_vpns/) I don't have details on any of them, but hopefully this gets you going in the right direction.

I am looking for a comparison of AVPN and MPLS for a security assessment. Does any one have an experience with assessing AVPN in a Sec audit? Specifically: What is AVPN? What does the AVPN product add to MPLS? Is it end to end encrypted like VPN? Thanks James
