Greetings,
 
I'm currently in the process of designing an MPLS based network.  I'm also somewhat new to MPLS.  A question has been raised about voice services.  This provider will be supplying both voice and data.  Some of our engineers are suggesting that all customer voice VLAN's be in the same VPN.  Others are suggesting that each customer have two VPN's, one data and one voice.  Still others suggest that the customer have one VPN for both.
 
I haven't been able to find any "best practices" documents on MPLS VPN design so I thought I would ask the list.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks!
