MPLS with a Single Router?

Hello,

I have limited hardware to work with, and was wondering if it's possible to execute an MPLS cloud with a single router, 'connecting' two office edge routers, similar to Frame Relay:

Office 1 Router ---- FR/MPLS cloud ---- Office 2 Router

The office 1 router would be the network core for the 'corporation', and would include the egress point for the internet.

Thanks!

For typical point-to-point MPLS solution, you need at least two PE routers where one PE is at one end and another PE is at another end. You don't need more PE routers or any P routers between the two PE. You could however have multiple CE routers behind each PE.

This makes sense. Thank you for the response!
