Krishnakanth,

    I think you can answer these questions yourself, if you take a
moment to define for yourself what the terms - 'MPLS network'
and 'non MPLS node' - mean.  You have to do this much since
the answer depends on your definition.

    As a couple of examples: you could define an MPLS network
as a network consisting only of MPLS nodes or you could define
a non MPLS node as one which is not able to handle labeled data.
