Why what? Why I'm not intersted in it or why I think MPLS is evil? MPLS is doing label switching on a hop by hop basis. In larger networks it is way to easy to screw something up in the lookup tables and suddenly your traffic is flowing to a totaly different location. Finding and fixing such missconfigurations are extremly time intensive as you need to reconstruct the path. If I have to tunnel traffic through a network I would use L2TPv3. -- :wq Claudio
