   Hello   
      
   studying new for me material on MPLS, and have a few questions on it:   
   With my current understanding, to have mpls correctly run on a router, one   
   needs a routing protocol(s) on the same router, which will obtain prefixes   
   for routing table (for ex. OSPF). Now, MPLS operates with labels, but it has   
   to know about routes, right -- so that's where routing protocol is required,   
   am I on the right track?   
      
   The other thing is equal-cost paths: is this what MPLS can also obtain from   
   routing entities, or such information can be provided by label distributing   
   protocols, for ex. LDP ?   
      
   Thanks.   
      
      
   Mark
