The MPLS-OPS Archive

[Parthasarathy Ganesh <ganeshbsnl@yahoo.co.in>]

The list is very useful for me as we are planning for MPLS implemetation. Kindly tell whether the list includes all commercial deployment or field trials.The debate I find among colleagues (in our organisation) for the large scale commercial deployment is the follwoing:

i)  for IP  network deployment is ATM necessary (we have not deployed ATM so far )

ii) can we commercially deploy IP over MPLS (without ATM) and run voice and achieve QoS 

iii ) How far MPLS has  matured in terms of standardisation & commercial deployment in large scale carrier network to carry voice also.

iv)  How far MPLS enable NGN architecture ?

I would like to have comments on the above issues

Best Regards
