Let me say up front, I don't have much experience in MPLS, I have only played with it in the lab and not all that extensively either. But CN is simply trying to get an idea of what to expect to go that road. Is "nrf" saying not to advance in this field by studying Cisco's way of emphasising MPLS ?

I don't mean to start any type of argument here, especially with someone who obviously has more experience than I do. Yes, you've been contributing to this study group many times.

I wonder if Cisco's MPLS class is just dated. It takes a long time to develop and roll out a new class, especially if there's also a Cisco Press book, exam, instructor materials, course binder, instructor training, beta testing, etc. In the early days of MPLS, was there more emphasis on LDP than o

Ah - MPLS.Yes there are several large carriers with MPLS deployed or in the process of deploying it (equant, global crossing...). Some on their core and some on their layer 2 networks such as ATM (AT&T for example). Others backed away from it but are now looking at it since it's a huge m

Cisco developers have, and continue to make, major contributions into what I hesitate to call MPLS. Some context may help here. First, one has to understand that protocol families like MPLS do not cleanly fit into the traditional model, and you can't force-fit them. When I say "traditional" mo
