Yep. It was frozen for a while. Currently I'm working on it again. control plane code was heavily redesigned, see http://bird.mpls.in/projects/mpls-bird/repository/show?rev=bird_mpls I have some working MPLS code on 8-S and I hope to create freebsd svn branch with base MPLS support in 2-3 weeks. >> ITOH OpenBSD has a complete implementation of MPLS out of the box, maybe Their control plane code is mostly useless due to design approach (routing daemons talk via kernel). Their data plane code, well.. Yes, we can use some defines from their headers, but that's all :) >> porting it would be short and more straight forward than porting linux LDP >> implementation of BIRD. It is not 'linux' implementation. LDP itself is cross-platform. The most tricky place here is control plane. However, making _fast_ MPLS switching is tricky too, since it requires chages in our netisr/ethernet handling code. >> >> Thanks in advance, >> Sami >> > > >
