didn't read the whole thing my head hurts but this seems like
a good argument for the ietf to jettison mpls and call it the
mpls-forum...  maybe scoya as 'business development weenie'
for foretec might want to take it on :-)

one immediate question comes to mind ... they talk of a link
management protocl (lmp) (eg in chap 8) it seems to do just
about what ppp does. the obvious question is 'why not use
ppp?'
