Abstract
In 2007, IP VPNs (virtual private networks) have a substantial base in the US
marketplace and can no longer be viewed as an emerging technology. From a
deployment perspective, IP VPN services are well established, generally
available on a global basis, with traffic engineering capabilities and support
systems that have matured to a point where they are more than adequate for
most business purposes. IP VPN services are a critical part of today?s
business communications infrastructure and a growth engine for service
providers, with continued growth expected looking forward.
This report examines the current IP VPN marketplace and provides:
- Highlights of trends in IP VPN services
- Results and analysis of an IP VPN user survey
- Five-year forecast of the overall US IP VPN services market
- Five-year forecast of the overall US IP VPN services market segmented into
network-based and CPE-based revenues

for 2007
