Re: [mpls-linux-devel] LDP query

[James R. L. <jl...@mi...>]

A quick search of the archives will show that the version of
LDP in the current quagga-mpls release is not designed for users (it
was a development release).

If you are interested in work with LDP and are willing to help
in the debugging process, please download the lastest quagga-mpls from
my development tree (see http://mpls-linux.sf.net for more info)

Make sure to search the archive before posting to the mailing list.
