RE: MPLS for 2500 [7:53353]
Definitely yes with PPP - a new NCP (MPLSCP) provides indication that the frame is an MPLS frame instead of an IP or IPX frame. MPLS is treated as just another network layer protocol. Not sure about HDLC though.

Alternatively, we have used the MPLS routers as access devices to connect to a FR cloud (ATM too but we don't have the ATM switches yet).
