Re: [mpls-linux-general] MPLS in IP encapsulation

[Sandeep S. <san...@it...>]

Hi,

I don't know much about GRE tunnels right now .But thanx anyway I can look
into that and learn.

Actually , I have already created a MPLS pkt in my own MPLS over ATM
forwarding code.

I actually need to do MPLS in IP encapsulation followed by encryption of
the MPLS pkt by IPSEC.

So I was wondering whether I could pass the skb containing my MPLS pkt to 

ip_queue_xmit(skb) in ip_output.c

for wrapping the packet in IP .

Am I getting it right and thinking along the correct lines ?

Thanx.
Sandeep.
