I wonder if you have any articles or suggestions for customers getting first mpls network. Providers will let you config & manage your own cisco routers but unclear whats needed. Cisco docs dont have the amazing consolidated presentation style you provide. Typical config seems to be ethernet handoff by provider, two vrf tables, and two ethernet ports to connect lan and firewall. Seems basic IOS and 2800+ router is common. QoS via ACL is often added (but you have a good doc on that already).
