IDC's report, entitled `Western Europe IP VPN Forecast, 2002-2007,'
estimates that managed IP VPN services in Western Europe grew by

The reason for the flattening out of growth, says the report, will be

On the managed IP VPN front, IDC says that MPLS technology now
accounts for more than half of current connections and that, as MPLS
