Re: [Re: [mpls-linux-general] mpls-linux-0.990 setup problems]

[jk s. <jk...@us...>]

Hi James,
I did configure two nodes according to README.example. To check whether
the MPLS label switching works or not. I used ping A from node B. To my
surprise what ever may be the incoming and outgoing label the node is
discovered. That means after the label is addeded to IP packets at node A=
,
node B decodes it and respondes to it immaterial of Label (
incoming/outgoing).

May I request U to give me the methodology by which I can confirm that MP=
LSadm
setup configuration is working ( as per README.example ).

Can anybody help me out if they worked on mpls-linux-0.990 by responding =
to
this mail. My main purpose is to demonstrate the mpls labeling.

thankx

If you tring to ingress filter based on bandwidth then README.ingress
is the correct place to start.  If your just trying to build a simple
LER/LSR/LER example utils/README.example is the one you want to look at.

I haven't tried ingress filtering in a long time.  Could one of the origi=
nal
users of it verify that it still works?

Thanks,
