All, Well seems again a couple of the IT standards bodies are at odd's again and yet with little public input, attempting to work out differences over MPLS to T-MPLS interpretability. I would be happy enough if the IETF would fix it's own DNS misconfiguration, and the ITU seek to work productively with MLPS and recognize PBT which is gaining momentum and may in a few years superceed either MPLS and T-MPLS. But of course either of these given the egos involved, would be a near miracle to behold. See http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/022808-ietf-itu-mpls.html?netht=ts_022...
