Champion, you have probably heard form others by now, but I will say in any case. You have everything you need, assuming the IOS version running on all these routers supports MPLS. Though versions vary for different platforms, make sure you have at least a 12.1 IOS, and preferably more recent. If this is the network and you are just building something for testing, it doesn't matter which router goes where. In normal practice, the smaller router would be on the customer site as CE, the larger, faster router on the service provider site as PE. The PE routers can be connected back to back with a cross over cable if running Ethernet.
