If you had to pick between increased latency and better throughput, or
lower latency and less throughput, which would you pick? You already
have mechanisms to make this choice on an IP network (IGP knobs, BGP
knobs, static routes, GRE tunnels, other hacks). MPLS-TE is just
another tool in the toolbox.
And yes, QoS - WRED, WFQ, all that stuff, still applies. MPLS-TE does
nothing to increase or reduce the efficacy of QoS (and by Q I mean
Quality, not Quantity) on a backbone.
