Re: [mpls-linux-general] Using MPLS-Linux in conjunction with namespaces & containers

[Renato W. <ren...@gm...>]

Right, network namespaces can act as VRFs. There's no need for patches, but
you should have a kernel greater than 2.6.29 for full network namespaces
support. (without the need for disabling sysfs)

Luckily I already ported the MPLS core for kernel 2.6.32.11, you can grab
the patches in my previous email.
