Core Routers do not need to run BGP because they, in practice don't take
routing decisions with user traffic (I mean traffic comming or going to
Internet), they just switch frames based on their MPLS label. BGP decissions
are made at the edge and packets sent to the BGP next hop through the
corresponding MPLS LSP.

	Hi,

	Considering the next scenario:

	-Core and Border routers running IS-IS, MPLS
	-VPNs configured in Border routers using BGP/MPLS
	-Border routers running BGP with full-routing

	The question:
	Do Core routers need to run BGP? Is IS-IS enough?

	Thanks in advance for your answers.
