Re: MPLS-TP [ transport profile ]

1) not always in some cases auto provisioning of DWDM at layer 1 traditionally
a function taking months, with high bandwidth paths and use of G-MPLS still
keeping optic and data layers seperated
2) the control-plane is optional in MPLS-TP, you effectively program the
data-plane as one of it's features
3) quote Cisco "A static configuration of PWs alleviates this problem. In
addition, protection based on MPLS-Traffic Engineering (TE) may not be
manageable in a situation where the complexity associated with a TE/Fast
Reroute (FRR) setup to protect thousands of nodes/paths could be a
challenge."

good high level, MPLS to the last mile removal of PHP, mobile packet access
