HI Gabriel,

It's not VPN-MPLS terminology ONLY,PE and P is a terminology for any MPLS
implementations, So why did u reserve it for only one application
(MPLS-VPN) actually if am providing MPLS-ATOM i will call my gears PE and P
as soon as they imposing and deposing labels. so the Guy (Mohamed) was
talking about MPLS benefits so it's clear that he meaning MPLS applications.

Best Regards,
Mounir Mohamed
