In conjunction with IR.34, this document describes a set of common guidelines to enable baseline security level to be achieved on the Internet Protocol Packet Exchange (IPX) Network. It contains detailed security requirements (binding and non-binding) for IPX networks that apply to both service providers and IP backbone providers.<\/p>\n

In particular, it covers:
\n\u2022 Internal security of the IPX Network,
\n\u2022 Security between the various IPX Provider networks,
\n\u2022 Security in Service Provider networks when it is related to IPX,
\n\u2022 Security between a Service Provider and the IPX,
\n\u2022 Security of data in terms of confidentiality, authenticity and integrity (e.g. by means of
\n\u2022 Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)) if it is needed for network level security,
\n\u2022 Tunnels, where needed, to hide the network from end-users<\/p>\n

Audience<\/strong>: Auditor, Technical security practitioner<\/p>\n
