djane,

<< Hasn't ASND also been very early on the MPLS bandwagon compared << to the CSCO focus on tag switching?

At the IETF cisco arrived with the Tag Switching proposal, IBM had a similar, but different approach. The committee accepted these proposals and melded them into what is now called MPLS (MultiProtocol Label Switching).

Cisco is fully MPLS compliant and was the first vendor shipping code and has sone extensive interoperability testing with several partners. ASND does not yet have a product offering in this area.

Since we started with TAG, MPLS is still called TAG internally and in our literature - so the confusion is pretty normal :-)
