For networks that may be feeling pressure in the core (and if the core is especially large that the problem is magnified), this really is where MPLS can have real application, as opposed to just being a buzz word for folk that think it's cool. If removing BGP from your core will save you tons of $$ in core router upgrades, then MPLS is certainly worth considering. Of course, this assumes the network is currently already running MPLS, or does not find deploying to be rocket science. If neither of those pre-conditions is the case, then it's not such a hot idea, of course. Also, it assumes your edge (particularly the Aggregation nodes) can still handle a full table, which may also not be the case for some networks. Mark.
