Hi, How about when setting up traffic shaping and or differing rules for differnt people on different PVC's on the same interface. To my way of thinking the extra functionality for the little extra configuration it is usually well worth it. But then again it's horses for courses. It is however a lot more work if you don't have sub interfaces configured then find out you need to do something to a PVC that lives with all the others. The good thing about subinterfaces is they are not physical you can therefore do stuff to one user ie shut, no shut change and configs without affecting all on the physical interface.
