Hello friends, 
At a recent discussion with my MS class students, i was discussing MPLS and related issues. The discussion went into a complete confusion when we got stuck at the very question 
WHY use MPLS?
Is it only because of the fact that the efficient swapping mechanism, that MPLS is considered good. What about already accepted switching techs like ATMs, incase they are integrated with IPv6 networks for better services like QoS through flow labels?
would anyone be kind enough to clarify?
Regards,
Faisal
