I was saying that today we don't have yet (or at least I have not heard of)
a full MPLS large network. I was not meaning that nobody is using MPLS in
portion of his network.

But obviously there are large full IP network that operate well (at least in
their core) and does not seem to believe to an urgent need for MPLS.

Nice for MPLS constructors

It seems that the search for purity is not restricted to IPist there are
also some MPLS zeloat around :-) sorry to give you high blood pressure.
