Reading up on MPLS and have a question...

Is there any reason to set up LSPs in the core if I am not going to use COS?

Thanks!

You need LSPs if You want to use MPLS, CoS (Class of Service) is
orthogonal to MPLS.

Thanks for the reply.

I figured it was a silly question. I would assume that LSPs are somewhat
the equivalent to the routes in a non MPLS netwaork? Is that a good
analogy?

Cheers!
