How to configure MPLS VPN using Cisco routers?

Normally VPN tunnel enables an encrypted connection between private networks over a public network such as the internet, but when using MPLS, the VPN feature allows several sites to interconnect

transparently through a service provider's network.


Follow the network topology of provider routers and customers edge routers as in the given figure:
