Its true that the OpenLSR project hosted on code.google.com is a system
integration project done by a very capable summer intern I had.  Its
also true that I would love to be moving it forward onto current (x64)
kernel and quagga versions, but it seems the mpls-linux project
organization is in so much disarray that other OSes start to look more
interesting.  In particular OpenBSD has support for LDP in their kernel.

I'm very glad to hear that the code, including verilog, is found useful
by some.  I'm actively working on better MPLS support in the NetFPGA
platform, if we could get mpls-linux a bit more organized with respect
to the code repository, I'm certain I could keep NetFPGA verilog updates
coming, in the interests of network research.
