[c-nsp] MPLS - 6500's

This is a topic that has come up on the mailing list several times including
from myself..;)

Hopefully a simple question (been reading the archives for a couple of hours
now).

With a 6500 Catalyst, regular line cards, and Sup720-3BXL - what can you NOT
do with MPLS on these chassis?  Is it "just" VPLS that requires an OSM card
or a FlexWAN card for example?

We are working on a project where MPLS may come into play .. VPLS would be a
nice option to throw in but not 100% necessary.  Today, these are 6500's
with Sup2/MSFC2 which I'm told are pretty much useless for anything MPLS
oriented....

Thanks,

Paul
