You'll have to forgive my vagueness as we're currently deploying this in our network, and a lot of the stuff we're doing, with vendors and internally, is off-limits for now :-). > Actually, who is not a fan of MPLS access?

But as you allude, current hardware is problematic, at best, when used to extend MPLS into the access. A number of challenges to overcome, scale to worry about, price-point, e.t.c. We're addressing a number of these through architecture and vendor interaction. That's all about I can say, really. We're currently deploying, and hopefully, should have some useful operator feedback at your next favorite operator meeting (hope we'll both be there). Cheers, Mark.
