3 bits of clarification:
> Some stick MPLS in the middle ala IP/MPLS/HDLC or IP/MPLS/SONET.
This was dumb. I meant, ala IP/MPLS/HDLC or IP/MPLS/PPP.
A couple of folks mailed me to state that MPLS as a transport
technology was in the future, isn't it? In fact, 2 networks
including our own have deployed large [mostly ubiquitous]
MPLS deployments, where most traffic runs on it, one all over,
another in certain regions/areas.
Finally, I was 'reminded' that MPLS convergence will actually
surpass SONET w/ restoral times, on the order of << 50 ms. Really
real soon now.
