For years now people have been talking about converged networks. MPLS is one means for achieving convergence for several reasons. 1) The ability to control traffic and traffic flows 2) The ability to control a network from one NOC (GMPLS) 3) The ability to charge for different levels of IP service In general I have found that Datacom people find MPLS to be a complex system, but Telecom people like the benefits of MPLS. The complexity like traffic engineering and traffic modeling is part of their current routine. MPLS is special because it allows carriers a real chance to "play" in the datacom world.
