I think its pretty well known that multiple routing tables, ala 2547-bis,
is not scalable. Apparently the author was fed the story and doesn't have
a clear understanding of the protocols of MPLS. To say MPLS is bad and write
a story about 2547-bis is a bit short sited. No mention of martini or any
other vendors besides the two exemplifies this even more.
