One reason that comes to mind might be if you had a limited number of
addresses and conservation was necessary. Using multipoint PVCs all
endpoints would be in the same subnet. If you wanted to use PVCs, each PVC
would be in a separate subnet. The effect of this could be alleviated
somewhat by intelligent use of VLSM but I suppose it could still be a
problem for some.
I could see this situation happening if you were using registered addresses.
Now that NAT is so prevalent this wouldn't be an issue in a new network
design.
At least I don't think it would be.
Another very good reason to learn about this topic is that Cisco seems to
like to test people on it. :-)
