[c-nsp] Dialup with MPLS

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the reply. But my scenario is a typical Telecom network where
user is using mobile to access the data service. I don't have router ports
to create MPLS VPN. This network is a MPLS enable network for TE. All the
users are using their phone to connect to network using EV-DO / 1X-RTT
network. Can I create end to end TE tunnel? my topology looks like -

                                           Router 1


                     Router 2                               Router 3


Router 4

                                                               router
5                router 6

here router 1 2 and 3 are in mesh and AAA is attached to router 3. router 4
is attached to router 3 and router 5 and 6 are attached to router 4.  A user
dial from CDMA network that is attached to router 5 and get authenticated by
AAA attached to router 3. Now router 1,2 and 3 are part of MPLS core, router
4 is PE router and router 5 and 6 are behaving as CE router. Once the mobile
user get the IP, he/she lands on router 5 which is currently CE router (this
is just the logical view, all above shown routers are part of same network).
In this scenario, can I implement end to end MPLS with TE?

Pls write me back if you need more clarification.

Thanks
Vikas
