MPLS and IP-VPN

[johnlloyd_13]

hi experts,

i can't distinguish between these 2 technologies. can someone enlighten me what is the difference between MPLS and IP-VPN?

With IP-VPN, the VPN head-end device will communicate to the VPN tail-end device over an IP network and relies on IP security protocols such as IPSec for security on the payload.

With MPLS-VPN, the VPN head-end device will communicate to the VPN tail-end device over a MPLS network. MP-BGP protocol is used for transporting customer routes.
