That is confusing. Do the network operators actually use the mpls on Label swithcing routers (LSR) now, or the answers I am getting are for the future? Are there any LSRs with MPLS in use anywhere? I am trying to learn about the infrastructure currently deployed not the one to come in the future? _____________________________________________________ On Thu, 14 Oct 1999, Alan Hannan wrote: > > 3 bits of clarification: > > > Some stick MPLS in the middle ala IP/MPLS/HDLC or IP/MPLS/SONET. > > This was dumb.
