Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have been conducting research looking for the economic justification
for MPLS. I have some feedback, but sound rationale from the industry
has eluded me thus far. I am looking for a paper, website, etc that
explains the benefits of implementing MPLS (other than technical) or
gives some economic modeling for MPLS-based networks. Any help,
reasoning, rationale or personal insights/views would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Shannon M. Lake Sr.
