AFAIK, no real implementations exist in production.

Much of the work is still within the standards bodies, and a 
number of working groups are working on various parts of the 
protocol.

A general update from Luca Martini can be found here:

It's going to be interesting to see how existing IP/MPLS 
backbones receive MPLS-TP, especially if they aren't 
incumbents. That said, I can see how legacy telco's would 
like the concepts it presents, even though they may have 
existing IP/MPLS backbones.

Cheers,

Mark.
