Provider-provisioned VPN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Provider-provisioned VPN (PPVPN) are Virtual Private Network implemented by the connectivity service providers or large enterprises on networks they operate by their own. They can be opposed to "customer-provisioned VPN" where the VPN is implemented by the customer who acquire the connectivity service on top of the technical specificities of the provider.

When internet service providers implement PPVPNs on their own networks, the security model of typical PPVPN protocols is weaker with respect to tunneling protocols used in customer-provided VPN, especially for confidentiality, because data privacy may not be needed.
