No idea what you mean by outdated (performance-wise). Yes, I know the initial claims for MPLS touted faster packet switching times - but that hasn't been relevant for many years. MPLS is about functionality. Yes, there is some functionality overlap with VXLAN - but the overlap is certainly not complete. Personally, I'd love to see an MPLS implementation in FreeBSD.
