Nilesh,

this is a huge topic, I doubt it could be discussed in an internet posting.

In a nutshell, to run MPLS you don't need MP-BGP. However, when MPLS VPNs come into play, you would need it. Because its capabilities to carry information on top of it are being used to distribute labels assigned to VRFs etc.

I would suggest you to study Luc De Ghein's book "MPLS Fundamentals" (ISBN: 1-58705-197-4), it has very, very solid explanation for many MPLS-related topics.

I hope that helped.

Cheers!
