A "P" router is *not* an MPLS core router, it's a router that's not
directly connected to a customer (i.e., it's not a Provider *Edge*
router).

> Should it be just a IP router?

The following, taken from the URL you posted, essentially says that:

        "Note that the provider (P) routers shown in this illustration
         do not run MPLS."

Hope that helps,
