[mpls-linux-general] General Questions About mplsadm for linux

[Hanxi Z. <han...@cr...>]

Hi All:

I've installed mpls-linux 0.993, and I've a few
general questions regarding it:

1. mplsadm is a manual tool to setup LSP paths
     right? So does it mean that it takes care of
     the setting up of layer 2 connections such
     as a ATM or FR connection, or just map
     a FEC to a layer 2 connection that is already
     on?

2. When LSP(s) are setup by mplsadm,
     is there any label request/mapping or
     hello messages between those machines
     running mplsadm? In other words, is mplsadm
     a REAL emulation tool for MPLS?

3. For those folks who are playing intensively
     with mplsadm (and portable ldp), what do
     you have in mind about any possible research
     potentials, by customizing the source codes?

A lot of thanks in advance.
