Indeed I highly recommend the MPLS Fundamentals to everyone. If you
are preparing for the CCIE R&S, then you only need to read the
respective chapters which are included in the blueprint, like basic
forwarding and VPNs.
The new revised Wendell Odom book on CCIE R&S covers a good MPLS
chapter as well, but it's still quite high level and I really loved
reading the Fundamentals book.
Like Mark said, no need to study real SP stuff. Just basic MPLS
forwarding and L3VPNs. I don't really get the comment about not having
to know multi protocol iBGP, what does this differ from MP EBGP? For
L3VPNs to work, you really need to use MP-BGP, either iBGP or EBGP
doesn't make a difference :-)

According to the CCIE R&S V4 Syllabus and Ask the Expert the required
technology is MPLS VPN. No need to studty cell mode MPLS, AToM,
traffic engineering, Multi Protocol iBGP, multipath MPLS. Even though
MPLS VPN may introduce you into some SP technology it's a good thing!

Well, the better question is what is the scope of the exam?
It seems to me that the bulk of MPLS technology is inside the
provider's network.... which seems more appropriate to the SP lab...
However, checking out some of the white papers, it does appear that
MPLS is hitting the enterprise backbone... so, we could see MPLS
everywhere...

The new CCIE R&S Written Exam Guide (4th Edition) from Wendell Odom
comes
out next month and has expanded MPLS coverage. For more in depth
overage
read MPLS Fundamentals, as others have mentioned. It covers more
information than required for the R&S practical (AToM, Traffic
Engineering,
MPLS and ATM) so you could get away with partially reading the book
if
needed. I don't think it would make sense to read any other MPLS
book from
Cisco for the purpose of the R&S exam. Fundamentals covers it all
and then
some.. It's also very well written (not too dry!).

I am also curious, considering that I always handled the CE side,
that
most of the MPLS configuration was handled at the PE..
