I do think that in today's environment many companies with multiple locations do need to consider MPLS as a part of their technology strategy. With that being said I think it is naive to say the answer is 100% telco or 100% VOIP. In my tenure in this industry I have learned that every client is different. Some clients are a great fit for an MPLS dyanmic circuit and others may be, as you suggest a good fit for VoIP. I do think that in many cases carriers will suggest their solution is the best as they do, "want to keep billing for voice", this is why I suggest finding a company that can recommend multiple solutions. A managed service provider that can look at your needs and recommend a number of carrriers and a number of solutions would be the best suggestion at this point.<br><br> <br><br>Also, feel free to look at the Call Center tab under Industry on this site as I think you will find a number of good articles specifically addressing VoIP. Finally, please keep an eye out as you have inspired me to write an article on VoIP providers and, "what to look for". In today's environment there are a number of good VoIP providers in the market, depending on what you are looking for. There is a need however to be cautious as unlike the traditional telco world there are a lot of; garage operations in the VoIP world. Thanks for your response.

difficult point are:
-ability for standard router to support great number of setting/removal/modification of reservations
-for multimedia session dynamic linking between mutimedia protocol (H323,SIP) and reserved tunnel
- managing the unidirectionnal limitation of RSVP
- desynchronisation beetween rsvp reservation mpls tunnel creation vs FEC affectation (FEC is not known when you reserve) in a reserve before sending invite approach.

but i think dynamic MPLS is a great and profitable deal for tomorrow

If you're considering MPLS as part of a strategic vision, then you may want to add VoIP and part of the solution. Much easier to allocate bandwidth and deploy quality of service. Don't let the telco's fool you into thinking their solution is the best, they just want to keep billing for voice.
