Explanation
MPLS VPNs offer two key inherent advantages: (A) Service providers can offer value-added managed services on top of the MPLS infrastructure, such as managed QoS, security, and multicast; and (B) VPNs segment customer traffic using separate VRFs (Virtual Routing and Forwarding instances), ensuring traffic isolation and privacy between customers. Option C is incorrect - MPLS is often harder to troubleshoot than simple Layer 2 WAN. Option D is incorrect - MPLS does not inherently reduce cost or increase speed compared to Layer 2 WAN. Option E is incorrect - MPLS actually requires Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) to function; it cannot operate without it.
