Definitely! Plus, lower latency is a big plus.

Hmm, I wonder if the answer involves something about avoiding MPLS vendor lock-in. That would be a pretty slick move.

The non-MPLS peer-to-peer model sounds like a real brain-teaser. I'm going to need a cup of coffee to figure this one out.

I think one characteristic could be lower latency, but I’m not confident. I remember practicing a question that mentioned efficiency in resource usage too.

I’m a bit confused about the differences. I thought both models had their own advantages, but I can't pinpoint what makes the non-MPLS one stand out.

I remember something about scalability being a factor, but I can't recall if that's specific to non-MPLS. I feel like I've seen similar questions before.

I think one characteristic might be reduced complexity since non-MPLS models can simplify routing. But I'm not entirely sure about the second one.

Alright, let me think this through step-by-step. Peer-to-peer is more distributed, so that's one. And it probably has lower latency since there's no central controller. I'll go with those two.

I remember discussing this in class. I think peer-to-peer has less overhead and is more scalable than a traditional overlay. But I'm not sure about the other characteristic.

Okay, let me see. I know overlay models use a central controller, so maybe peer-to-peer doesn't have that? And it might be more distributed? I'll have to guess on the second one.
