IP Networking Pros:
Any topology; T-1, FR, VPN, MPLS, etc.
Better in multi-point deployments. Connect to any node without having to tandem.
Compressed voice.
Dynamically share bandwidth with IP data.

IP Networking Cons:
Requires real-time packets with low latency.
Compressed voice. Requires QoS to be reliable.
Usually requires updated/sophisticated IP infrastructure.
Faxing can be a problem.

My 2 cents!
