Ethernet point-to-point and MPLS each provide advantages over the other depending on the need of the business. For two location networks, that are relatively close geographic (less than a thousand miles), point-to-point can be less expensive than MPLS. With point-to-point there is a mileage charge for the “long haul” (distance) between locations. There is no long haul charge associated with MPLS, so for networks, which include locations that are many miles apart, MPLS is often less expensive than point-to-point.
