I'm not sure if I'm missing the point of the question here (didn't get much
sleep last nite), but it's not a requirement that your P routers have a full
routing table. In a true MPLS network, the core will really just be moving
LSP information back and forth and just need to know internal information
only. Your PE devices are those that are interconnected and will/may be
doing an L3 lookup.

This is a design concept, and not really indicative of any one vendor's
capabilities. I've done it/seen it on Juniper networks as well as on Cisco
ones. So it's just whatever you desire to do in the end. :)

There is a feature in MPLS that I find powerful and it is the possibility of
building an Internet backbone with 160000 routes present only in the PEs
routing table. I was wondering if this was only a Cisco feature or do the Ps
of other vendors also support this like Juniper for example?
