[mpls-linux-devel] Dynamic LSP configuration

[Julien B. <jul...@gm...>]

Hi,

As I read this post :
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=31043747&forum_id=36583I
notice that I may help.
I am currently a student in computer science and the topic of my master
thesis is "more or less" the dynamic LSP configuration. I read the
ldp-portable FAQ file which says :

Does ldp-portable support CR-LDP?
---------------------------------
Short answer no.  Long answer is that the underlying packet encode/decode
for CR-LDP related TLVs is there and the 'MIB' like interface for
creating the TE related config is there but the upper layers do not use
them.
=======================================================

I don't what the status of this part of the code but I'm available (not at
full time) to help (testing / releasing / maybe coding / whatever you need).

As I downloaded the whole repository from perforce (2.4 GB, so painful) and
I don't even know what is the difference between all the versions of quagga
or even which one I need to dynamically create/modify/re-route LSPs!! If I
need to code something for CR-LDP, you would be so kind to let me know where
can I start ??  I read a little the developer's guide (
http://perso.enst.fr/~casellas/mpls-linux/index.html<http://perso.enst.fr/%7Ecasellas/mpls-linux/index.html>)
and it doesn't say much about LDP.

By the way, I managed to install every programs contained in the tarballs
(ebtables, iproute2, iptables, quagga 0.96.4) with a kernel 2.6.15.7.
I have to install and test everything on a testbed but it is unavailable
right now. Meanwhile,  I use Netkit (base on user-mode-linux) to test a
create a virtual testbed and test everything.

Let me know if I can do something.

Julien
