Dave, MPLS is an IP technology that has been largely driven inside IETF. Millions of users have benefited from the backbones running with MPLS protocols. It's about 10-year old. MPLS has refined, modified and reused many other IETF protocols, RSVP, OSPF, ISIS and BGP etc. Also for the role of IETF, I think it should take a more active role in creating standard protocols for the industry. One example comes to mind is in the area of streaming video - way too many proprietary protocols today. Another place that needs some serious help is P2P. The lack of standard in those areas has negative impact to their growth.
