Hi, The question should be what you want to do with MPLS, so what is the reason you want to implement MPLS in the first place.
- MPLS VPN's: EIGRP could be used - Make core BGP free: EIGRP can be used - MPLS Traffic Engineering: EIGRP can NOT be used, only OSPF/ISIS For the first 2 you could use EIGRP. The discussion then would be how EIGRP compares to OSPF/ISIS in your network. Normal items like scalability, stability etc are then your decision criteria. If MPLS VPNs are your main reason for using MPLS, you might want to look at the supported routing protocols between the PE-CE. At this point, afaik, EIGRP is not yet available. It is on the roadmap but not yet available. For MPLS Traffic engineering (TE) the only option is a link state protocol. This is because they give "complete" visibility into (parts) of the network. Both ISIS and OSPF have extensions that make them MPLS TE capable.
