There are a wide range of VPN technologies available. MPLS-based VPNs are the most prevalent technology types used today, with many based on the use of Ethernet transport to provide high-speed communications. This paper describes the various MPLS-based Ethernet VPN services and technologies which Juniper Networks® supports. These include Juniper's best-in-class VPN implementations, as well as alternatives which provide interoperability with deployed non-Juniper products. This paper is intended for marketing managers seeking to understand Ethernet VPN options, as well as technical managers seeking an overview of their technical alternatives.
This paper describes the Ethernet VPN capabilities supported by Juniper Networks. Although Ethernet VPNs can be implemented using various methods such as generic routing encapsulation (GRE), IPsec, Ethernet VLAN stacking, and MAC-in-MAC, the focus here is on the prevalent MPLS-based techniques.

This paper provides a GREAT complement to yesterday's paper on VPLS. Once again, there's a super amount of technical information. In particular, the discussion of Layer 2 versus Layer 3 MPLS VPNS and the components and services are great.
The end of the paper describes Juniper's implementation options, giving a great benchmark regardless of your exact choice of supplier.
