Nothing much better than the RFC's. Cisco has some textbooks, but in my opinion they really aren't that good. The MPLS/VPN book, for example, is OK if you really really want to do VPN's, but even then it still isn't that informative. They also have a frustratingly Cisco-centric approach to MPLS (yeah yeah, I know what you're going to say, what do you expect if it's from Ciscopress, but still...).
>From what I've seen, MPLS gets a lot clearer when you can actually see it in action. If you guys are implementing an MPLS network somewhere (and I know quite a few ISP's are doing just that), then that would be the best place to learn it.
