[e2e] [Fwd: State of MPLS deployments today]

[Ping Pan]

Hi,

Frankly, other than the fact that the carriers have no money, most of 
the operators seem to know what they are doing. I suspect that this 
economy may have changed their MPLS deployment approach. Instead of 
shipping MPLS everywhere quickly, they are turning toward to migrate 
their old equipment into the new MPLS infrastructure. Martini drafts are 
the perfect example of such....

Heck, what do I know? :-(

Take care!
