	- Faster convergence, using IGP's, BFD and LFA.

	- Active/active redundancy, where both links are
	  carrying traffic simultaneously.

	- Minimal-touch provisioning, e.g., bringing up a pw
	  requires you to touch only the A-end and B-end of
	  the circuit, instead of mapping VLAN's across your
	  Layer 2 domain.
	
	- Routing scales better than switching as your
	  network physically grows.

... you get the idea.
