MPLS

[Alaric Snell-Pym]

Hi there,

What's the status of MPLS integration in NetBSD? The Ayame project
seems to have gone rather quiet of late...

I know that MPLS is currently being sold to the world as a 'high-end
core network' technology, but as I see it, MPLS was originally
designed to mean that CHEAP, SIMPLE routers could do high-end routing
jobs. Personally, I'm keen to use MPLS for *all* inter-router links,
and just use normal IP over Ethernet for leaf networks, so I can have
snazzy traffic control and fast routing failover...

But MPLS routers are not currently very cheap, so I'm keen on getting
my NetBSD machines doing the job!

Hi,

You may want to check a patch derived from Ayame for -current (couple of
months ago old) at http://kefren.netbsd.ro/MPLS/ . Sadly, I didn't have much
spare time lately but I hope to finish my current projects in a couple of
weeks and restart working on MPLS support.

Did you get anywhere with that?

I may be able to get hold of a couple of MPLS-capable Cisco routers
soon - if so, I can set up a testbed! :-)

Thanks,

I'm working on it. Whenever you want to test it drop me an email and I'll give
you either patches for current or a current.iso image.
