(about five months late for April)

whereas MPLS lambda switching (MPLambdaS) is taken quite seriously by
a lot of people...

...who haven't agreed on that much yet. It seems to be doing a good
job of distracting everyone from MPLS itself.

think of it as:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-awduche-mpls-te-optical-02.txt
et al laying out the specifics and:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ashwood-generalized-mpls-signaling-00.txt
trying to fit it all in to the existing MPLS framework neatly.

Rather too early to attempt to simulate it based on the descriptions,
I'd have thought; if you want to simulate traffic engineering in a
scenario you can just mess around with the routing tables in ns.
