- Faster convergence, using IGP's, BFD and LFA.
- Active/active redundancy, where both links are
carrying traffic simultaneously.
- Minimal-touch provisioning, e.g., bringing up a pw
requires you to touch only the A-end and B-end of
the circuit, instead of mapping VLAN's across your
Layer 2 domain.
- Routing scales better than switching as your
network physically grows.
... you get the idea.
