hi, i to have been reading alot and working with MPLS..... i personally liken it to Switching more than routing ...i know it uses BGP and also uses static routes,but essentially it just switches packets over pre-defined paths from device to device ....... I also see a future for this simply in the Telco enviroment ....everyone (cisco Juni and foundry are supporting it ...albeit in different forms..cisc is using RSVP and everyone else isn`t) and the speed increases seem to be worth it.... but as ever only my workload and time will tell. steve >From: "nrf" >Reply-To: "nrf" >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Isn't MPLS basically just ATM PNNI, but for layer 3?
