Answer these questions to determine whether MPLS is right for your network.
1. Is convergence on your planning horizon, or are you already engaged in a convergence initiative?
2. Is your organization highly distributed, with lots of low-to-medium bandwidth sites?
3. Is your organization global?
4. Does your organization see technology as a competitive differentiator?
If you answered “yes” to three or more of these questions, you’ll almost certainly want to move ahead with an MPLS RFP. If
you answered “yes” to two, you should seriously consider it.
