There are some reasons to use Router OS MPLS 1) Main reason is VPLS, either for private network customers or PPPoE aggregation. 2) Then comes accelerated packet processing, which MT will now do for IP packets with the FastPath feature 3) The comes "look, my network runs MPLS, the protocol of the big carriers" What Ubiquiti could do, fast, is to provide both PWE3 and GRE capabilities, layer 2 and layer 3 tunneling. There is no need of MPLS to provide such services in a scenario the routers have good packets per second capabilities, like the Ubiquiti routers do. The MPLS capabilities of high-end routers linked to QoS and fast recovery are not there in Router OS, and I don't see Ubiquiti going after the service provider market Juniper leads and Cisco is a close follower. If UBNT wants to kick Mikrotik, tunneling and aggregation features (DHCP, RADIUS auth, Hotspot, PPPoE) are the ones to have. MPLS or not MPLS is not the point.
