MPLS VPN vs. IPSEC VPN

[NETING]

Hi All,

in the process of rolling out our Global VPN. In the US we have site to site tunnels(IPSEC). I have been hearing alot about MPLS VPNS. Two questions. Where can I go to get info on the advantages and disadvantages of each. Next question is should i continue rolling out the fully meshed site to site vpn internationally, or should I start seriously considering and MPLS based VPN internationaly and somehow have it interconnect to our site to site VPN here in the US.

Thanks in advance.

Just been reading a cisco doc about this, as it happens, at least the intro paragraphs may be useful
