Chances are it WON'T be frame relay; HDLC or PPP would be likely.<br />

And for a routing protocol, it can be RIPv2, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS, or BGP. &nbsp;The provider might not support one or more, but they're all possible.

It all depends on the provider. I've worked with AT&amp;T, MCI, BellSouth, and Verizon building MPLS networks and every one is a Frame connection if it's a T1, and every one required BGP. QoS with Diffserv was an option.<br />

Good morning everyone,<br />
<br />
I am hoping that I can find some documentation on configuring some Cisco 1800/2800 Routers to work with an MPLS. I am working with multiple sites, a main office running the 2800, and satellite offices running the 1800's. It will be handling VoIP and Data traffic, with each satellite office having 3-4 people. <br />
<br />
So, can anyone point me to some documentation for this sort of thing? All I have found so far is documentation for setting up the MPLS cloud itself.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Configuring Cisco 1800/2800 Routers for MPLS

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
