[mpls-linux-general] Zebra-port and Linux-port

[Kauder T. <Tho...@ic...>]

Hi everyone,
I still didn't make it to compile the Zebra port.
While trying to figure out the problem I wondered what the difference
between the two ports might be anyway.

So here comes the question:
What exactly are these Ports.

I tried to work with the Linux-port while distributing routes with zebra.
I don't understand how they could differ, because as far as I understand it 
zebra works with the Kernel routing table as well and ldp shouldn't need 
anything else.

Here's what happens:
after I define global objects on two machines ( LSR-ID 1 and 2) and add the 
interfaces on both mashines ( add interface eth0 ) they establish a session.
The machine I generated the routes on in the first place adds incomin labels in
/proc/net/mpls-in but removes the labelspacebinding to eth0. On the other machine 
nothing happens in the /proc/net/*

With ethereal I found out that they are exchanging mappings and wants.
What surprises me the most is, that in the mpls-in file every line starts with
a fec put there aren't any entries in mpls-fec.

I think that I need to get the ldp_zebra compiled....
If anyone did manage to do that. please let me know against wich version of zebra.

Thanks for taking the time reading that.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me
