Her book was published on 01/2000, I would imagine the actual context must
be written 6 month earlier than that date, so her comments on MPLS was
almost two years old, we all know in our network world two years means what.
Just read all those RFCs/Drafts since late 1999.
I believe MPLS will play a key role in the optical world, such as DWDM.
