I'd be curious to hear what MPLS-specific issues you faced in the 6
months you had to operate such a network.

Been running IP/MPLS Core, Edge and Access networks for over 15 years,
and apart from bugs which affect any protocol or feature implementation,
I can't say it has been a nightmare to operate to the point of not
recommending it.

I have far fewer words to say about STP, although - I'll admit - I've
never run TRILL.

Mark.
