Put aside the history where it came from, MPLS finally did find a need for it: as the Internet topology gets more and more richly connected, there is a need to spread out traffic over all existing connectivities in some controlled way. There is the adm-control and BW reservation side of QOS, but in case of MPLS, it also helps with the above issue. Note I am not saying MPLS is the right solution for the problem. To me the right solution to the above mentioned problem should be a multi-path routing protocol. My 2 cents (and stop, don�t mean to join another round of MPLS bashing) Lixia
