Mikrotik, a router based on the Linux 2.6 kernel, implements MPLS. It can run on x86 hardware. I think it has a lot of potential for creating a scalable, Layer 3 IaaS platform.

See http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:MPLS/Overview.

As far as I know, Linux has poor support for MPLS. I have researched it in the past but couldn't find any readily available implementation that is being used in production networks.

Even commercial Linux-based implementations like Vyatta don't have MPLS support yet.

There is an mpls-linux and a linux-vrf project that you can check out. These are the closest things I could find.
